that's what surprised me when I saw that technique
happening. The guy didn't wind a lot of string around
the post. I know I said two wraps in my last post, but now
I'm wondering if the guy only wrapped it around once.
I do remember that when the string was up to pitch
it was only a couple of turns around the post. What
I don't recall is whether he clipped off the excess
string at the beginning, or left it at full length.
