T I STRINGS

[JeffM]

Will the TI flat wound strings unwind if cut and not bent over when fitting? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks Jeff

[jps]

Very likely. Are you using these for guitar or bass?

[JeffM]

Will be using strings on a 12 string ric. Ta

[JeffM]

Yes on my 660/12 or 360/12. Just not sure how to put the wound strings into the slots, as I usually cut 3'' longer and the leave about 1/4'' out of the hole them tighten up. Should I cut 3'' longer ,then pass thru' the hole then bend the ends over? Thanks. Jeff

I always pass the full excess length through the hole, only to cut it off after I tune them to correct pitch, assuring there are minimal 2 preferably 3 turns of string around the tuner.
While installing I bend the excess part of string up for obvious reason

Out of interest what is the difference between the TI flat wounds with the GB or JS prefix?? Thanks.

Those differentiate between the “George Benson” strings and the “Jazz Swing” sets of their flat wounds. I use the Jazz Swing TI’s and I really like them. Better than Pyramids in my opinion. Unfortunately I do not know the differences between them.
