Good question Pete. I would say the old vacumcleaner at string change time would work fine here too.
Mind you. I haven't broke a string since I started using leather picks.
They now wear out at the frets from the bends the haunting tone of the leather on steel begs me to do.
I'm gonna have to stop playing Summertime in A minor all the time so the wear is spread out more even and i get full value out of my strings.
Just had a thought Pete. Yo get enough of them string ends ya can sew them all together into nice little designs on ya vest like them English busker people do with pearls and seashells.
That would look cute and stop ya vest blowing about in open air gigs.
Regards.
Graham
