I've got dozens but can't make up half a set! Because I buy a particular brand of nylon string, which comes with an extra, "composite" G string, I also have a large stock of hard-tension nylon G strings that I don't know what to do with. Seems wrong to throw them away, maybe I can make a fishing line. C-flat |

Perhaps there's a teacher (music or otherwise) near you whose students would enjoy making homemade stringed instruments? I never have enough strings for the kids who are interested here. My little harp uses guitar strings too, and I never have enough. I also wonder if there might be a sort of spare string recycling program at a local music store? Even a designated cardboard box where donated strings could be chucked and from which others could select the strings they need? |

Guest half-wit, I think you've just enlightened me as to where those "odd" notes keep coming from when I play! |

01 Jan 06 - 05:55 PM (#1639014) Subject: RE: Tech: Odd Guitar Strings From: Kaleea If you could add a few used strings to those making a full set, you could send them to the second strings project. They accept full sets (all 6 strings) of used guitar strings & get them to folks all over the planet who otherwise would not have strings for their guitars. Some folks I know collect them from folks & then pack 'em up & mail 'em out to Darryl & Kevin. More info at: |
