[CAUT] Hardness of termination vs string breakage (was Re: restrung D)

[RicB]

Hi Alan

As per Ed McMorrow,  Thin is about 0.5 mm and sharp is well... sharp 
:)   No rounded edges... or just very very slightly buffed.

2.5 mm radius is just... well. I would never use that under any 
circumstances myself. My experience tells me that is a recipe for future 
string buzz noise.  YMMV :)

Cheers

    Ric,

    Would you mind quantifying "thin" and "sharp" for me? Ted Sambell talked
    about a 2.5mm radius, which works out to 0.1" or between a sixteenth
    and an
    eighth inch radius (for metric-phobes).

    Thanks.
