For the next two low strings, the windings go to the inside. The lowest bass string also needs to be tied securely, and then wound to pitch in such a way that the windings run on the outside of the string roller. This can be challenging the first few times, and especially so for those with large fingers. He starts by running the bass string through the bridge to the tie block-in this case a 6-hole variant-and displays proper string tying technique. Nikos walks us though one string at a time, from bridge to tuners. His tools: a normal tension D’Addario string set, a string winder, wire clippers and a headstand. PG’s Nikos Arvantis offers an in-depth tutorial on changing nylon strings, and specifically on a classical instrument-where the number of string holes on the tie block (six, nine, or 12) vary model-to-model. Changing strings on a nylon-strung instrument is much different than wrestling with the buttons and wire on a steel-string acoustic.
