insert the string (without any knot) on the hole of the bridge from the front and then take it from the sound hole moving the body till you see the string. Then pulls it out a little from the sound hole and makes a simple knot in the side. Then it is pulled from the bridge side so that the knot comes to touch the soundboard from below.
@@AquilaStrings and you keep that tension until the string is locked at the tuning peg? Because I'm trying this right now and it's really tedious and difficult.
I'm not a fan of this even if the manufacturer recommends it. I insert the string end into the hole (after using the trimming guideline) and wind it up. If there's still too much on the spindle, I'll unwind and remove another inch or more. I believe there is no wrong way of doing this.
The thinnest (G) string right? I used a double knot and a pair of pliers to keep it in place while winding. It worked, but it was tricky. My next stop was using a gas flame to bubble up a hard stopper.
Thank you for the request. Our strings are made for standard instruments like the one you can see in the video. If you have pins at the bridge, there is the risk that the strings could break. But if you need more information or a dedicated consultation, please write to aquila@aquilacorde.com . the customer care service will give you all the information you may need.
Hello, I bought a Kala U-Bass-JYMN-FS Journeyman Acoustic-Electric that came with round wounds. Do I need to change the nut or anything like that in order to switch over to thundergut strings?
thundergut strings are designed for u-bass, scale 18-21'' (46-53 cm) only : aquilacorde.com/en/shop/modern-instrument-string-sets/bass-ukulele-ashbory-bass/46-53-cm-18-21/thundergut-copia/ if you use them on much longer vibrating lengths they may break.
Hello, the product code of Thundergut strings is 68U: aquilacorde.com/en/shop/modern-instrument-string-sets/bass-ukulele-ashbory-bass/thundergut/ You are probabily talking about the hangtag in the instruments which only refers to the hangtag template that is installed by the manufacturer, but is not the code of the strings.
perfect, straight to the point demonstration of how to lock the string into the tuning peg. Thanks!
Would be nice if you showed how to 0ut them in the bridge

Thank you for sharing that!
How much do you remove before putting the string in the hole?
How do you get the string tight at bridge when installing? I've tried knotting and just keeps coming loose?
