That's setup, not long term stability, and that's why we settle coils as much as we can after stringing. A few years later, those strings (sloppy and neat coils) will be comparable in stability. >..I still believe that > tidy,neatly seated coils contribute a lot to tuning > stability. I don't believe it, just because I haven't seen anything to indicate that's the case. I've tuned many a really nasty looking string job that didn't have any unusual stability problems that I could identify. >..Regarding Geoff's Kawai problem,I think there are a few more > questions to be raised.and answered.
