  • About 25 years ago, I carefully observed a close friend of mine while he was restringing his classical guitar. I was quite impressed with his careful method, and over the years I have seen many different ways of restringing nylon guitars. I’ve seen lots of soundboard damage from people not tying them properly at the bridge, and I’ve noticed that some people have a very difficult time keeping their guitars in tune because they did not properly secure them at the tuning machines. If you follow this demonstration guide, chances are you will be very satisfied with your results. Please like and subscribe! Hamm-tone Guitars.  #classicalguitar #restring #hammtone

    I've always used the wrap and tie method, but have been doing it a bit backwards by starting with the 1st string instead of the 6th string. Thanks for setting me straight

    My luthier showed me this exact same method from knots to winding except he starts with high E and then slides low E under A. They say there´s no good or bad approach to stringing guitar but this is definetely the best, easy, quick, holds the tuning and looks very nice. Beautiful video man

    Not come across this method. Really neat finish and so easy to lock the strings. Over 1400 views and only 40 likes ?! Come on people! This is an excellent video.

    Lovely and thanks for showing how you do it. Ironically, this is the ONE thing I know how to do! LOL The routing out of necks for truss rods, etc. Not so much. LOL
    Good video Jeremy!

    Only the outside E strings wind from the center shaft hole outward. All 6 strings go in a straight line through the nut slots..

      I have often wound the strings in a fashion so the strings don’t end up rubbing against the headplate, but I like straight lines!

      The main reason for tying all 6 strings together in this age old traditional method is to reduce the chance (yeah, it’s somewhat unlikely) of a string unravelling and slapping back on the soundboard, making an ugly mark. I’ve seen it more times than I wish. There are many ways. If you like your way, you should stay with it. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix. Right? Thanks for sharing your perspective!

    That is such an over kill. I don't know any luthier (I'm sure there are some) that strings the bridge that way. If you need to change one strings, you have an issue.

    • @Hamm-toneGuitars
      @Hamm-toneGuitars  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I totally agree it’s (seemingly) overkill, but the whole reason is so the string doesn’t untie and slapback on the sound board, causing damage to your $5000 or $10,000 guitar. I’ve seen upset people and damaged soundboard because the “other guy” didn’t tie them properly. Reducing the chance of soundboard damage is the main reason. If you have a inexpensive guitar and you’re not as concerned about tuning stability, then it is overkill. There are many ways to do things, so if you have a way that’s good for you, then there is no need to change! All the best!

      Respectfully, I cannot bear the thought of using such a hideous looking thing on a high end guitar. However, if this is what you like, that is the most important thing! Here is a link for anyone interested in a less traditional and simpler method of fastening nylon strings onto their guitar. One could also use beads or perhaps folk strings could also satisfy. th-cam.com/video/qRdPOYjmyhQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AQ2IPUzO8tsiBcoH
      If down pressure is the main reason to use the string beads/ties, another option I offer on guitars I build are the 12 hole bridge. They also help increase down pressure on the saddle. Many high end builders offer this option.
      All the best!

      @@Hamm-toneGuitars I came across it on the Paulino Bernabe guitar I bought recently. He is the top luthier and he uses it on all his guitars, high ends and low ends. Your suggestion of using ball end strings as an option sounds like a joke. I don't use the beads on my 12-hole DT, but there is no reason why it shouldn't be used there too.

      @@johnlay3040interesting that Bernabe is using string ties, the friend who showed my how to tie almost thirty years ago was taught by a classical guitar instructor who had two Bernabes! One cedar and one spruce. Fantastic guitars. You are obviously a serious guitarist and I respect your opinion. I think there are many schools of thought. Some classical guitarists would never consider a radiused fretboard, yet some embrace the new ideas. So much good out there. The string ties must be a great idea, especially if Bernabe is using them. I personally don’t like the concept. I understand the advantages and whatnot, I just really enjoy tying strings onto a 6 hole bridge using this traditionally accepted method. So many guitars come into my shop with either poorly tied strings, or damage from slap-back caused from improper tying, I felt it was a good idea to make a video showing people how to tie strings the proper old fashioned way. I don’t doubt that you are a smart person, with good taste in guitars and abilities that probably match. I will continue to do it this way, and I think it’s great if you continue to put strings on your guitars whichever way you choose! All the best!-Jeremy
