Hi, all, I'm fairly new to this early guitar thing, and I just got a small parlor guitar. I'm wondering if anyone has any hints for mounting gut or nylgut strings to a pin-style bridge. I've tried just tying a knot, but it keeps popping out the pin about a 4th lower than target pitch. I've thought of putting a bead or the little washer from a steel string into the knot, but haven't yet tried it. Any advice or experience would be appreciated. Best, and keep playing. Chris.
