Thread Name: Tech: Does G-string size make a difference?
Subject: RE: Tech: Does G-string size make a difference?
actually, yes it does. The fact that the G string is the smallest guage of the brass wound strings -- and therefore exerts the greatest amount of downward pressure on the least amount of surface area -- is the reason that, though it can happen to any of the wound strings, that annoying occurance of the string embedding itself into the nut (as if the nomenclature weren't alread perverse enough), causes an inability to tune the G string.
