Tuner's Knot--NOT!

[Joseph Garrett]

The Other Joe said: "Hi Dave, There is another knotfor bass strings that
might work in this =
case, One end ( the wraped ) is like the usual knot, while the other =
looks like a shepherds crook."

Joe, et al,
The knot you refer to is called A Sheet Bend Knot. There is/are three knots
that can be used to tie strings: 1. The "Tuner's Knot", which is essentially
a Granny Knot or, (I can't remember the other name and it's not listed in my
Sailing Knots Book. Reason being, it's not a "safe" not to use.) 2. The
Square Knot or Reef Knot. 3. The Sheet Bend
