I'll have to remember to do that one of these years.

Over the next few years you might want to consider changing at least a few of the strings.

I've been trying for years to find the two nings on my guitar. I haven't been successful. Where do they hide?

Isn't Tu Ning a Chinese musical instrument maker? How Long is the name of the owner of that company. It really is.

How Long is a piece of string.

You can't change strings,they have to want to change. Well that's what my therapist says.

... what a waste of time

I've played with one or two bands where tuning my steel was a waste of time.

Some musicians play all night without tuning and others tune all night without playing.

You could just tune 4 of them, but that would make you a bass player

You can play a fish? Strange

Or a base player.

Even Stravinsky quoted the saying that harpists spend half their time tuning and the other half playing out of tune.

Tuned with pedals down?. .. otherwise there is still upside.

You do realize they'll expect you to do it from now on....

Well, now, that's just wrong....

Wayne Quinn · Post by **Wayne Quinn** » 9 May 2016 5:11 pm

Dang it any how, now we ALL have to start tuning those things up

My theory is, the rustier they get, the more stable the string is. Rust is not as stretchy (technical term) as the steel strings. The string itself might need tuning, but the rust should stay in tune forever.

Let's not be rash!

Which is more stable, rust that's old, or Rutsty Young?

Charlie McDonald · Post by **Charlie McDonald** » 10 May 2016 5:18 am

Perhaps I should change the strings I play the most frequently...
then play ancient Chinese melody one more time.

Good haiku.

I tuned mine once, them I soldered it so it wouldn't change...

I went to see this band once. The steeler was so out of tune the fiddle player actually noticed...
