I recommend cutting your strings at least 1.5 time the length you normally use, something around 3 forearm length. I used 2 and 1/4 forearm per string and I needed to add 1 more forearm (where it’s bumpy on the photo). And I could not figure out a way to make somewhat pretty endings, so I tried different techniques I’m not sure which one is better, because neither are passable. If someone figures out a way hit me up I want to know.
