I'm looking for some advice on how to handle a wound low G string on my tenor with a through bridge. Is it possible to tie a decent knot, and if so, any tips?
I thought I'd use two beads, one to support the knot and one to protect the wood but I'm worried about the knot slipping because it's not tight enough, or about needing to leave a large amount of spare which then sits against the soundboard and kills the sustain or buzz.
My string are arriving later so I'm going to have a go this evening, but as I say, any tips will be appreciated!
