    @Bruce Pritchard, thanks for sharing about Pat Enright and the need for safety glasses. I am always a little leery when changing strings and wearing safety glasses would have saved Pat’s eye.

    Thanks to Chad and Deering for this very informative video, especially with regards to intonation. Usually, players have no idea why they sound out of tune up the neck nor how to perform such an easy task that makes such a huge difference in the overall sound of the instrument!

    Thanks for a great vid on changing strings. You might want to add a word of caution to banjo players, however….

    Pat Enright (a Nashville musician) was setting up a mandolin when a string snapped and put his eye out for good….since I learned that, I have always worn glasses when changing strings…

    Thanks for showing me the proper way to install new strings. I really like the tip of looping the excess wire back into the tuner hole on the 5 string.
