For the thicker strings (E, A, D), wrap the string end clockwise around
post, then run under string at post entry, and pull string tightly over

winding. String ends can then be bent down and trimmed near the knot.
Because new strings are prone to stretch when first installed, you should gently stretch the string by
pulling it away from the neck and retune again.
