For those who use one or more of these Thomastiks as bass strings on your uke, what do you do with the double loop end? Should the straight end be fed all the way through the bridge hole, south to north, and then fed through the loop? The nylon fiber looped part is significantly smaller in diameter than the wire looped part, so it looks like that would just shred away under tension (or perhaps it would stretch?) And there's no knot forming the loop (like many violin family strings have), but just a couple inches of silk winding right up to it, so it looks like it would be too fragile to hold by simply leaving it at the bridge's back end (like on a violin tailpiece). Or do you do something else, like cutting the loop off and knotting the straight end in the typical bridge knot fashion? I looked all over the web, and am unable to find what they do with these on classical guitars.
I was expecting these strings to be straight and simple, like the other classical guitar strings I put on my baritone uke. (But I should have figured, knowing Thomastik... lol)
