hole in the post and begin winding the button to remove the slack in the string. Continue

winding to form a neat coil.

Finally, tune the string to the appropriate pitch. Pull up gently at the center point of the

string to stretch it. Retune, and repeat, until unwanted slack is eliminated and the tuning

of the strings is stabilized this will prevent slipping and save you tuning frustrations down

the road.
