Hi All, I've never had much luck with the pencil lead/graphite business on the string or nut to ease passage of the windings of a string over the nut. However, not long ago I tried a pinhead-sized spot of anhydrous lanolin rubbed into the portion of the string passing over the nut and in the groove in the nut. This seemed to ease things a bit. You could probably obtain a dollar's worth of anhydrous lanolin from your local pharmacist/chemist and it would be a lifetime supply. Best, Steve
