when to change strings

admin — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 05:07:37 +0000

I like to change my guitar strings every time they get cruddy and lose tone. This may be as often as every two weeks, depending on how often I am playing a particular instrument. Steel strings never present a problem after a change, only because I’m sure to stretch them out by hand after they are tuned for the first time.
Nylon strings seem to present more of a problem because they tend to take longer to stretch and stay in tune…especially the clear or unwound ones. I feel it is unwise to change nylon strings right before an important gig or recording session, and usually have to wait until I can let them stretch for a few days.
