String wrapped around tuning post.
6.
Repeat the above process for the remaining
strings.
Tuning Post
2.
Allow only enough slack in the string for 2-3
rotations around the tuning post.
Note:
If too much slack is allowed, then the
string could wind off the tuning post after
many successive rotations. If not enough
slack is allowed, then the string may not hold
the winding tension.
3.
Use wire cutters (optional) to cut off excess
string.
4.
Bend the string at a right angle and insert it
into the tuning post slot.
5.
Rotate the tuners until the string just begins
to hold the winding tension (
Figure 29
).
Note
:
DO NOT tighten the strings beyond the
initial tensioning at this time. Final tensioning
should be completed during the string tuning
process.
