Paul, don't do it mate. Unwinding strings that much will just about guarantee at least one WILL break at the tuning pin. Not to mention the amount of time that it will take - you may as well restring it by the time you do all that! If you're worried, just a drop of CLP or Pro-Lube and get on with it. If they're gonna go, they're gonna go.......... Scott Jackson Would it be ideal or necessary to lower tension on the string before brushing the V-bar? If so, should they be so loose as to move freely side-to-side? (I'm thinking primarily bass strings.) Loosen a half-dozen at a time, brush, PR, lather, rinse, repeat?? Brush parallel to the strings, or parallel to the V-bar? Take precautions to keep rusty dust from contaminating the windings??
