Strings and Fine
Tuners
I just bought a new string for my cello and it doesn't want to fit
in my fine tuner. It's a Thomastik Spirocore tungsten wound. Is this
one of those strings that you aren't supposed to use in a fine
tuner? I read on another post that some people spred their fine
tuner just a bit. Anyone know the best way to do this. I paid a bit
for this string and I'd really like to try it out before giving up
on it and sending it back.
Thanks

Re: Strings and

Pinch the windings down by the ball end with some needle nose
pliers, just enough to fit the string into your tuner. Don't mess
with the tuners just to try out a string.

Re: Strings and
Fine Tuners
Hello there. I just purchased my first cello, and it came with four
fine tuners. I played cello for nine years in the public school
system and never learned anything about this. I waited sixe years to
have my own cello, and now that I do, I can't even play it because I
don't want to mess anything up. Can someone please explain the
process?

Glad to hear you got your own cello. What are you having problems
with. I'm not a pro by any means but always willing to help if I
can. If I can't there are plenty of people on this board who
can.
