A little trick I use all the time!

I’d never heard of it. Thanks!

Thank you!

My theory is this. With a pinch and a pull, it gets rid of dust deposits in the crevices in a wound string! Not so much with unwound string, as it requires more time for dust settlement, that too in neck and bridge.

Interesting tip, anyway! :slight_smile:

That was my thought, that it cleaned out the grooves b/t the windings.

Yeah it probably shakes them clean. Honestly I don’t know totally how it works, but it does!

Okay, I’m always very skeptical of stuff like this. But I figured it was worth a try. So I loosened my low E string, snapped it a couple times and tuned it back up. And it’s noticably brighter. Almost like a new string. How on earth does this work?!?!

I haven’t seen Barney in about ten years and I don’t plan to ruin my streak now. Maybe @Michael_Mark will enjoy the song.
