| Over the next few years you might want to consider changing at least a few of the strings. |

I've been trying for years to find the two nings on my guitar. I haven't been successful. Where do they hide?

| Isn't Tu Ning a Chinese musical instrument maker? How Long is the name of the owner of that company. It really is. |

| I've played with one or two bands where tuning my steel was a waste of time. |

Some musicians play all night without tuning and others tune all night without playing.  |

You could just tune 4 of them, but that would make you a bass player

Even Stravinsky quoted the saying that harpists spend half their time tuning and the other half playing out of tune.

My theory is, the rustier they get, the more stable the string is. Rust is not as stretchy (technical term) as the steel strings. The string itself might need tuning, but the rust should stay in tune forever.

Which is more stable, rust that's old, or Rutsty Young? |

Perhaps I should change the strings I play the most frequently...
then play ancient Chinese melody one more time.
