Rent a car! Zipcars are something you should definitely look into. My sister, who lives in a metropolis, used them before it was absolutely necessary for her to get a car. Also, websites like priceline can offer relatively cheap alternatives.
Good luck!
I haven’t changed anything with my string storage..
I will try an E if this latest D doesn’t stay. I think the issue for me was giving the string slack. I understood the higher octaves don’t stretch as much as the lower strings, and, since it kept breaking I watched some YouTubes talking about how to replace strings in the higher octaves. A few discussed leaving an inch to an inch and a half of slack on the string before winding it on the tuning pin, which I kept trying at different lengths.
This last go with the D, I disregarded the idea of leaving some slack. I didn’t pull it extremely taught but I didn’t leave any excess, and so far it’s holding! Perhaps the slack is more applicable to nylon strings? I’m not sure. But a few I watched didn’t mention anything about leaving some slack, and I think that’s been my problem.. … well, I HOPE that has been my problem. 🙂 We will see!
I just replaced the string (again) and I added an extra loop and voila! LOL! We’re back in business!
It’s odd because when the string would break, the “back end” of the string would come out and the knot would always be just fine on the anchor.. I would have never thought. Anyway, 10 points to you Kimberly! 🙂 Thank you!!
