Rob... If you must use them and you have buzzing, try putting a drop of CA glue at the ends of the copper where you cut it off. It usually stops the buzzing.

So far my success rate with these has been about 1 out of 3. I'm ready to start decorating the tree with the ones I have left since it seems that's about all they're good for. As far as prepping these for installation, am I missing something or is just the nature of the beast. (I realize these are less than optimal compared with ordering new strings, but the customer really just preferred a quick solution).
