Over time, the strings of any guitar age and begin to sound dull. This is a sure sign that it's time to replace them. How do you attach the new nylon strings to your guitar?
Necessary
- - nylon strings;
- - guitar.
Instructions
Step 1
Take a string and insert its end into the hole in the stand. Pull 13-15 cm through the hole. Tie a knot, trying to position it as close to the edge of the string as possible. Too long tail can scratch the deck.
Step 2
Draw the knotted end under the string so that a loop forms. Pull the string through the loop without tightening the knot.
Step 3
Take the knotted end to the side and wrap it around the loop again to wrap it around its axis twice. Pull the string tight. Make sure it is securely fixed to the bridge and that its last turn is on the stand.
Step 4
Spread out the string and bring it to the headstock. Pass the other end through the splitter hole.
Step 5
Keep the string slightly taut to keep the bridge knot from loosening. Leave a small margin for winding. Try to calculate in such a way that there is enough for two or three turns, no more. Bend the end towards the head of the bar. Pass it under the string.
Step 6
Holding the string and keeping the tension, wrap it around its axis so that you get a "lock".
Step 7
Begin twisting the peg, holding the string until it stretches itself. After the “tail” of the string has been crossed several times, move it to the side so that it does not interfere with winding. Make sure that the string winds down along the peg shaft, and its turns lay neatly.
Step 8
In order for the new string to straighten faster, it is recommended to pull it forcibly. Pull the string up two centimeters and run your fingers along it several times so that it comes off slightly from the slots in the bridge and on the saddle. Pull up the string with a tuning peg.
