Richard et al,
Practice, practice, practice.....!<G> You didn't learn to tune =
overnight, and especially w/o lots of practice. Don't wait for a string =
to break before you attempt to do the knot(s)! The easiest way, I know, =
is to get some electrical wire w/sheathing, different colors. It's soft =
copper, so it's easy to manipulate. There are three knots that you need =
to learn: 1. The Tuner's Knot, which is actually pointed out by Ron =
Nossman to be the Theif's Knot. 2. The Square Knot. Any Boy Scout book =
will show you this one and the next one. 3. The Sheet Bend. This knot =
can be used where you don't want the string sticking out, sideways on =
one side, but you have room on the other side. All of these knots will =
work and can be mastered with a little PRACTICE.<G>
Regards,
