How to tie nylon strings to the guitar tuning pegs

Written by: Mykola Roodenko
  • Strings

The principle of fastening strings on the tuning peg of the tuning mechanism is similar to attaching them to a bridge – the string should be gripped with a tightening loop. The stronger the strings are pulled, the tighter the loop holds. Undoubtedly, the number of windings around the peg has some mening because it provides additional friction that holds the string.

Fret calculator

When you make or repair the fretboard you need fret spacing calculator. In this article I have very nice calculator to locate fret position. Only put in your scale lenght and you get fret spacing table. But I have for you not only distances from the nut to frets but two more columns in table. First of all spacing between adjacent frets and special one distance from one chosen fret to other ones. This can be very helpful for understanding what the scale lenght on your guitar for example. You can calculate any guitar scale length up to any number of frets. It might not only be for guitars, as it's simply a calculator for the 12-tone equal temperament tuning.

There are several ways, but some of them may result in the string slipping out and hitting the body painfully.

Changing guitar strings can be so annoying because it requires a long time to turn the pegs of the tuning mechanism. But if you have a special artisanal string winder made of precious wood, then changing guitar strings becomes a quick and enjoyable process.
