I just changed my strings and used the same kind I took off. I use Cobra Coils.The ones I just took off have been on the Steel for a good year and a half.I have not broken any of the original ones I put on there a year and a half ago.I think the reason may be is I was told that when I put them on put the first wind on the opposit side and then cross over to the side you would originally wind them on.I think I heard this from Bobbe Seymour and a guy that was teaching me in R.I. Tony Palmer.I play this Steel every day for a couple hours and in the evening for a couple more hours.Is it the strings or the way I'm putting them on?? I hope I don't get in trouble putting this thread on.
