[The Bard Rocks]

The strings get into a circle when folded, probably midway down. Then when you straighten the neck, you get a kink. If I did this during daylight, I'd have a better chance of seeing it, but I am more apt to play this around campfires, in the tent, in darker places. I need to learn to feel for a comping kink.

But it would be better to switch to strings which are less prone to such things - if they exist.
