I am preparring to try a different set of strings on my new Kanile'a concert, and in searching these forums it sounds like using glass beads might be a good thing to do. I understand that if the bead is too big, it won't fit into the pin hole so the only way to do it would be to fish the string down and out the soundhole, tie on the bead and so on. Has anyone found a bead size that allows them to tie it on first and it fits down into the pinhole? I'm looking at some glass beads on the internet that have an outside diameter (OD) of 4mm, and some silver or bronze ones that have an OD of 3mm and even 2mm. I'm wondering what size would fit into the pin hole. Any advice from folks who use this method, or those who have found a better method, are most welcome! Thanks in advance
