It ain't good for the tuning peg for it to have a gob
of string wrapped around it. The skinny strings can
probably have 6-8 turns wrapped around the peg, but
the fat strings build up in diameter around the peg
pretty fast, and make the gears work a lot harder.
The "Martin knot" eliminates most of this. I can
change strings with standard tuning pegs in about 10
minutes. Probably these fantzy-schmantzy "lay it in
the slot and clip the end" tuners are faster, but they
also are around $80 or more a set.
