[CAUT] restrung D

[Jim Busby]

Hi Fred,

 

I'm coming in late on this but Jim Ellis speaks of the "friction
coefficient" (I hope that is the term he used) between different types
of metals. In Europe, especially with historical instruments and such,
they use brass bridge pins. Jurgen Guering sells them. Juan Mas Cabre
swears by them for his Pure Sound Wire (Stainless steel). Maybe Jim
could enlighten us? Or at least someone smarter than me could better
understand this metallurgic relationship as Jim explains it.

 

Regards,

Jim Busby

I dont think you are going to get around the problem of grooving without
causing a new problem of string breakage... 

 

Hi Ric,

            Why would there be more string breakage due to a string
going around harder rather than softer metal bridge pins?
