Peter,
I never would've thought to make a "shim" out of cardboard as you described,
that could be slid under the strings, in order to keep the sound screens, (if you
have them) from popping out. An ounce of prevention, (a couple of layers of
cardboard) is worth a pound of cure!
Thanks for sharing,
Richie
