Help Stringing Round Cores
So I have this habit of "knotting" my strings when I change strings. I loop them around then pull them tight with some needle nose. I have several sets of round cores and don't want to kill them while putting them on. Any recommendations on how to do that?

Well, SF, I don't know about the "knotting" bit as I just use the over/under method. I have not found a need to use pliers as part of this process so I am not quite sure how you are using those. The biggest issue with round cores is to bring them up to pitch before you trim off the excess amount of string. Do not pre-cut the string as one would do using what has become known as the Taylor method of re-stringing. Hope this helps.
Best, Jayne

Starting with the low E, pull the string up to the next tuning post and put a 90* bend in it Slip it through the hole on the E post and wind it up. I like 1 over and 1 under but it doesn't matter. Do the same for the A, then D. Then go e, B, G and you're almost finished. Don't trim the strings until they have been brought up to tune. Then you're finished.
Leave the pliers in the toolbox.
