    Tips and tools you need to change strings on a classical guitar.
    Changing strings on a nylon-strung instrument is much different than wrestling with the buttons and wire on a steel-string acoustic. PG’s Nikos Arvantis offers an in-depth tutorial on changing nylon strings, and specifically on a classical instrument-where the number of string holes on the tie block (six, nine, or 12) vary model-to-model. His tools: a normal tension D’Addario string set, a string winder, wire clippers and a headstand. Nikos walks us though one string at a time, from bridge to tuners. He starts by running the bass string through the bridge to the tie block-in this case a 6-hole variant-and displays proper string tying technique. Thinks loops and remain patient. This can be challenging the first few times, and especially so for those with large fingers. Next we move to the headstock. The lowest bass string also needs to be tied securely, and then wound to pitch in such a way that the windings run on the outside of the string roller. For the next two low strings, the windings go to the inside. This avoids string overlap. Next he moves to the highest string, where the light gauge can be especially hard to knot, and also keeps the string on the outside of the roller while winding up to pitch. The next two highest strings go on the inner part of the roller, as with the bass strings. Finally, the loose ends sticking out beyond the knots on the tie block and rollers are trimmed with the wire cutter. And violá! If your nylon-string guitar has a nine- or 12-hole block, consult the manual or other sources.

    Remember that on one end of the 6th string (Base-E), there is a loosely wound two inches and that end is used on the bridge (the bottom side of the guitar) for easy tying. Just make sure that all of the loosely wound part is brought under the bridge, through the hole. You don't want that part producing any of the vibration/sound.

    Hello. I have a quetion query and hope someone can help me out. I hope someone could tell me the purpose of the ‘eye’ or eyelet - like the ones found on sewing needles to thread the thread - at one end of the Knobloch strings?
    I haven’t come across these kind of strings before, Knobloch are made in Spain and one feature I like is that they tune and settle in a question of hours, a day or 2.
    Obviously it is somehow made like that to make string up easier or more secure, but I cannot decide which end it is supposed to be used, bridge nut or tuners’ in the headstock? Even then I am mot sure exactly how one is supposed to proceed. I need an expert.

      they are wrapped or plated with thin silver or other types of metal. It’s confusing if you look at them, but as soon as you play them you’ll clearly feel they are not actually metal, just plated. Why, I have no idea, my guess is it just sounds better.

    • @audiosurge6405
      @audiosurge6405 Рік тому +5

      It's NORMAL at first. Nylon strings stretch A LOT when they're brand new. As they stretch, they will go flat. The solution is to play them for a while and re-tune constantly, soon enough the strings will finish stretching and the instrument should hold its tune for a reasonable amount of time (well, assuming the guitar isn't shit).
      Optionally, to speed up that stretching time you can also do big bends or even pull on each string. Example: pull on a string 2-3 times, tune back to pitch, then repeat it a couple times for each string. I hope that helps :-) Rock on!

      @jassie138 Рік тому +1

      Not sure if you still need any help, but you can buy left-handed guitars, that said this type of guitar is symmetrical and can be played and strung both left and right handed as long as there are no electronics in it.
      It's a safer bet to look for a left-handed one in the first place, but with a purely acoustic classical guitar there shouldn't be an issue.

      They all wind the same direction with the string going over the top. Since they are recessed inside, winding under won't work. The string should not contact anywhere other than the nut and its own winding. It shouldn't hit any other string, winding or part of the head
