I use Martin fluorocarbons, which IIRC are even thinner than Worths. I just tie a big ol' messy knot with lots of loops at the end of each string - for me, that works out to 8 loops for the A string, 6 for the E, 1 for the C, and 8 for the high G or 1 for the wound Fremont low. It's not always pretty, but it works. And it beats the heck out of those awful black strings
Thanks, I'll keep trying. I was up to 3 knots with the A and thought I'd ask here first. Not sure if there was a bead trick or something. The other strings only used 1 luckily. If the A string keeps slipping through, is there any way that the slot could get damaged? It looks like there was some wood splinting, or it could also just be my imagination.
