What a great sound though; it's always a pleasure to put new strings on. It's almost like getting a new guitar.

Yikes. I forgot about cello and stand up bass strings. I payed less for a guitar awhile ago then she pays for a set of strings. And you can get a non-big-name-brand bass guitar for about the same as a set of the upright bass strings!

Plus, the cello has friction pegs, so the contant joke is; "Man, didn't you guys ever hear of geared tuners?"

To which the reply is, "Hah, hah, very funny."

She did break one awhile back though. It went sorta 'thupp...' and just hung there. Luckily the strings, even that long, aren't really high tension.]]> Guitar Players Discussion DemoEtc https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-else-get-real-nervous-tuning-their-strings/paged/3/#post-133436 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-else-get-real-nervous-tuning-their-strings/paged/3/#post-133414 Tue, 18 Oct 2005 11:29:47 +0000
That reminds me : I read that Keith Richards never uses the high E strings (takes it off) Maybe he could use my sets? :wink:]]> Guitar Players Discussion Blind_Lemon_Pye https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-else-get-real-nervous-tuning-their-strings/paged/3/#post-133414 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-else-get-real-nervous-tuning-their-strings/paged/3/#post-133299 Mon, 17 Oct 2005 23:54:37 +0000

on my guitar, I really don't have any worries, but I still don't do careless things. I never warm the stirngs up, and I've neevr snapped a string before. I did snap the high e one time, and it whipped the front of my hand, and I had a red mark there for several days.

I'm especially careful on othe rpoeple's guitars. My friend has this old squier, and i was really scared tuning becuase it had old rusty tuners and rusty strings, which didn't help at all.]]> Guitar Players Discussion blackzerogsh https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-else-get-real-nervous-tuning-their-strings/paged/3/#post-133285 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-else-get-real-nervous-tuning-their-strings/paged/3/#post-133281 Mon, 17 Oct 2005 23:25:31 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-else-get-real-nervous-tuning-their-strings/paged/3/#post-133281
