Location: UK | Never seen these before but they look interesting. I've been using Adamas ball ends because I'm not great a tieing nylons [also because they are a great string]. Have ordered a set to try.

'scuze me, I don't use nylon so I should shut up! |

A bit of bling and maybe my strings will not be continually slipping out of tune for a week or more. |

It's more "stretch" than "slip".
I usually re-string the nylon a week before I actually need it so it it has all that time for the the strings
to s-t-r-e-t-c-h into shape.
The little hand-drawn diagram conveying "improved break-angle" is shite as well . . . |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | Actually, I like the idea. My CA's bridge has grooves worn into it after years of playing ... I might just try them ... though I think my guitar should've started using them 32 years ago. I may just let the bridge wear out then send it to the factory. |
