Please describe, or tell us where to find a description / photo of the
"Martin Knot"
I too find that changing strings and locking them on the tuning peg
(slotted head or conventional) fairly easy. Just one half wrap around the
post, loop the string back under itself and up and the string locks itself
to the post. Maybe two wraps on the fatter strings, three or four on the
thinner ones. No slip and it takes longer to type the description than to
change out a string.
