Hello from Denmark 🇩🇰
I inherited my grandmother's old Hofner 545 mandolin. I have fond memories of her playing it 💓
The old strings had a loop end, and sat around the tailpiece (before it was cleaned and got a new bridge)
I would fit new strings with Ball end (D'Addario EJ70). But on the E and A string, the winding slips at the ball end.
Did I do something wrong? or is there something wrong with the strings? And what can I possibly do to prevent it from happening again?
They have, at no time, been over the tune.
Best regards, Mogens
