This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Hazen, About ten years ago I got a 6 inch plastic pvc pipe about=20 6' 6" and put a solid cap on one end and a screw on lid on the other. = Becuase the strings sealed in they are no longer exposed to the changes = in weather and humidity. I find that the strings have developed far less = discoloration than they use to. Out weather causes strings to gather moisture if left outside due to condensation.They ride with me in the Windstar and are never = taken out of the van. I also like to work with the string that is a little straighter. IThe strings are also organized into three groups of sizes, 50 through = 90 thou, 90 through 100 thou, and 100 up The strings are tied in a bundle with heavy cord at the ends and in the = middle. Once in the tube (that can be tricky) they are only removed one at a = time for use as each string is tagged with a micrometer number at the = loop end and are easy to pull out of the tube. the tube holds about 200 = strings. To remove a string the whole bundle must be out of the tube about a = foot.
