<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good picture! I do not know if =
there is a name
for this knot, but I refer to it as the shepherd's knot due to the shape =
of the
one leg. It has one advantage in thet there is only one tang that
protrudes thus it can be positioned to avoid tuning pins that are too =
close
together by turning the string over if

is longer and will possibly be in the way of the tuning pin when the =
string is
brought up to pitch.</FONT></DIV>
