Just watched a video on things techs hate that customers do. This was number one.....

I’ve just always done the first wrap around above the excess string and the rest of them below it in a coil fashion. That seems to work well for me.

Been playing since 1974. This is the method I learned back then, and used for decades. I found a much easier way to secure the strings about 15 years ago. The first wrap of the string goes on top. Never had a slip, and removing the strings from the post is WAY easier than the knot.

I've just been straight up winding my strings up exactly like you just said that you're not supposed to do and I've been doing it for 30 years with pretty much zero problems. I do a lot of bends and stretches on the strings almost constantly so that pretty much pulls all the slack out of whatever is in the headstock.

You'll never have to change strings again.....until the next time! That was great!! Thanks for a really well-explained way to do this!

This style of wrap is fine for players that don't gig. If you gig, or tech for other bands, this method absolutely creates issues when removing the strings. In most cases, needle nose pliers and good lighting are needed to remove the broken part of the string that is still wound on the tuner. This can really make it difficult to quickly change out a strings. I prefer the method of wrapping the first winding above tuner hole and the rest below. This will create enough tension to keep the strings in place without wasting time trying to remove the leftover broken string.

How about using physics and the design of the tuner post to insure that you don't need a knot. If you notice, most new tuning posts are concave and flare out above and below the string hole. After you put the string through the hole put the first wind over the top of the string coming through the hole, then all successive winds below the string end coming through the hole. The concave part of the tuning post then cinches the string tight from the top and bottom compressing the winds against the string end and making it almost impossible to slip. Cut off the leftover string. This makes it a lot easier to change strings in the future.

I have changed at least a thousand sets of guitar strings, I did try this method one time but when I went to change the strings the next time, it was a real pain to remove them. I have found all you need to do is wrap the strings around the peg a couple times, stuff it thru the hole, bend it over, tighten it up, cut off the excess, done.

I’ve seen a few explanations for the luthier’s knot, but this one makes the most sense!

I've been using this method for years and never knew it had a name. I honestly don't even remember where I learned it, but it's a great trick and this was an excellent presentation of it.

This method of Luthier's knot has definitely helped me. Thanks a lot

Thank you so much for doing it so slowly with an excellent closeup shot. That is the best demonstration I have found on Youtube!

I learned how to do this back in 1975 from the mandolin instruction book titled “Bluegrass Mandolin”, written by Jack Tottle. I’ve been using this technique ever since. I had no idea there was a term for it. Thanks Jake!

I bought a Martin D35 in 1987 and there was instructions included to string this way. I don't recall it being called a "luthier's knot" but I've been using the method ever since. I don't know that I have ever run into anyone else who uses it. It does work well for me, never have had an issue with slippage. Thanks for sharing.

Great tip - I have done it differently for years, but your method is easier, quicker and still locks down the string. Also saves me time in my workshop - thanks!

Was having crazy trouble locking my baritone, this is the only video that explains to add extra slack before winding, makes all the difference. Thanks brother

Well done! The camera angle was perfect, and you gave a good explanation…and it's a short video! I'm going to save this so I can show it to my students.

I have been playing the guitar for 59 years and I have always wanted to be able to do this. Thank you for being so clear!

Excellent. I've been using this knot since I learned how to play (30+ years ago). The camera work and specific instructions will make it perfect for my guitar students.

Now I know...at my next Thanksgiving family meal, I will not discuss religion, politics, or the Luthier's Knot.
