    Stupid catgut string

    2nd Octave D broke AGAIN

    I am sad... Greygor is taunting me...

    This is the 5th string that has snapped in about 3 months... Which for guitar players may not be a huge deal, but for a harp player its just plain annoying to spend $15-30 on a new string.

    AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

    I still haven't replaced my 5th octave F wire. It snapped, then I replaced it and it snapped while i was replacing it...

    The regulator is coming on tuesday to check out Greygor and make sure everything is working fine, I'll have him replace the strings for me

    I had a cat gut string for my violin a while back. Didn't like the stupid thing because every time I played for more than 2 minutes it would drop out of tune about 3 notes down. Never invest in cat gut strings.
    And the pea mocks me.

      Oh, they stop dropping in tune after you keep them relatively in tune for about 2 or 3 days...

      that being said, i have 35 catgut strings i have to tune so dont be complaining

      <Edit> for you PETA freaks out there, its not actually CAT guy

      more like sheep and goats and stuff, occasionally cows, but mostly goats
