The string has a notch in it, and the notch is right at the agraff, or V bar. 
It is very aggravating. My solution is to pull the notch past the agraff. Do 
this by releasing the tension on the left string, and then pulling the right 
string up. This will get the notch past the agraff or the v-bar. It won't 
take much. If the strings are rusty, I would not do it.
