I've done a few vids about my string changing methods. Mostly because some mistakenly believe that slotted headstocks are more difficult.

So I have one on solid headstocks here.



After intensive and scientific research (???) I show in the description below, my preferred precut lengths per string is detailed.

n.b there is NO problem wiht precutting strings unless they are riound core strings.

On string "stretching" I bought a plastic gadget called a "string stretcha" which, once I realised how to use it, I've found it very useful, and obviates grabbing strings under your fingers/nails.

(no pics of our babies as they are in their fifties!)
