Now let's see your average Boy Scout tie a teeny little knot on an A#0
string with about an inch between the tuning pin and the upper =
termination
pin!

And, just for fun, tell him he's already 20 minutes late to his next
appointment and he left his trusty 5" Vice Grips at the Johnson place, =
last
Tuesday, he thinks. <G>=20

Just what ARE those upright bass termination pins called, anyway? You =
know,
where the poor old, tired strings are asked to take a hard right turn on
their way to the coil..."Pardon me, twenty-three skidoo, excuse my =
rust."

Alan,

Try making a tuner's knot with a piece of rope, making sure you tie it =
just
like us tuners do it, and then try to pull it apart. Let me know what =
you
discover.

Playfully,
Tom Cole

If making a dependable knot with different thicknesses of wire is a =
problem,
make a sheet bend instead of the square knot.
