Ok, gang, I'm stuck. I finally got around to restringing the older Kiwaya Famous that a friend gave me. It has a standard bridge. All was fine until I got to the A string. When I get close to getting it in tune, it snaps out of the bridge. This has happened about 4 times. I tied a bigger knot thinking that is the problem, but that didn't help. Any ideas?
Do you think something is wrong with the bridge?
We are going to try making the knot larger yet-you can see on the bridge where the wood has spread away a bit-either this was already a problem, or it happened when the string pulled away.
Hope this all makes sense.
