I just put my second set of John Hartford "D tuning" strings on. I love the strings, but I'll never use strings with loop ends again, given a reasonable alternative. Installing the strings is an absolute hassle for me, and I broke one (twice ) in the process. Luckily, I had two .014's in a box, and the third one didn't break. Why do manufacturers torture people that way, is putting brass knobs on the tailpiece end really that much more expense?
