<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am replacing the strings on an old =
Weber but I
have run into a curious situation. While restringing, I noticed =
that a
string was beginning to rub against the next tuning pin. The next tuning =
pin had
no string on it yet so when it does, there will be even more =
interference. The
layout of the bass pins are mostly diagonal arrangements of four =
pins each.
This interference is happening where the diagonal pattern starts. I =
didn't
record it, but I assume that the stringing pattern was sequential, i.e. =
all four
pins in a diagonal were used before going to the next set. The curious =
situation
is this: if I use the first pin of the next set of diagonals instead of =
the
fourth pin of the working set, and then the fourth pin of the working =
set, and
then the second pin of the next set, then there is no =
interference.
Would this create a difficult situation for the next tuner? Should I =
string this
way?</FONT></DIV>
