I put two new strings on, using the suggested method of wrapping the free end
around the working part of the string, then catching it underneath.
This seems to be holding very well -- no slippage at all. I have close
clearance to the end of the peghead slot, but got everything to go where I wanted
it.
Thanks very much for all the suggestions.
