Location: cincinnati, ohio | Dumb question I've been meaning to ask for a couple of years -- exactly what ARE string tubes and how would they benefit my "O's?" And where can they be gotten and for how much? I'm full of questions today, aren't I?
Thanx! |

Location: Upper Left USA | Sorry Rick.
String Tubes and Reflective Bowl Paint are the "Snipe Hunts" of the OFC.
It's hard to give a straight answer in the first page of posts. They arose during a dark time in Standingovations life. He finally defeated his arch-rival Hal but it was a long battle. |

Location: Copenhagen Denmark | Hey Rick,I am shure someone will come up with a smart remark,however,the only Tubes for Strings that I know of ,are the ones being used for Strings that are sold "Straight" instead of "wound" ,possible to obtain from C F Martin ,being a seasoned myoohsishen ,you probably know the advantage,( wound strings are wobly/wavy,will take time to become straight/settle in)so the Straight ones will "settle in " right away :)
I assume that U did not talk about tennis racket stringing,now that`s a whole different ball game ;)

Location: Upper Left USA | string tube, stree'-ng too'-b, noun, (OFC)Polish origin.
1. A tubular device used to protect a wound instrument string from becoming impregnated with wood or debris as it passes through the superior designed non-pinned bridge, such as those utilized by Ovation(R) instruments.
2. An unnecessary tool. The reference is usually followed by the remark "Made you look".
I think that Jerome has the patent in his reference section at www.ovationtribute.com |
