Bill, I just thought of something that might at least be a temporary solution to prevent someone on the front pew from requiring stitches... Thread a thin string, say #11 or 12, through each of the hitch pin loops all the way across each of the bass strings. This way if one lets go it will be caught by the wire. If the hitch pin loops are to small then perhaps a piece of fishing line wrapped around each of the hitch pin coils all the way down and then tied off. Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV
