String-Tie Beads for Classical or Flamenco Guitar, White

When my luthier suggested using String-Tie Beads for my guitar, he pointed out that the string break angle would be slightly greater than using traditional ties. I feel that these not only simplify securing the strings but aid in protecting the rear of the saddle as well as improving the overall sound of the guitar.

I find them extremely easy to use as well as being rather unobtrusive on the guitar.

After experiencing string slippage on my new guitar I decided to try these. Very easy to use and secure. Now I don't have to worry about a string suddenly slipping out of the bridge. I wish there wasn't a logo, but it's not that noticeable.

I bought a new guitar and for some reason the strings wouldn't stay put on it. I tried these and I won't go back to the old way. I plan to put them on all of my classical guitars in the future.

easy to install. Love them and they look great

I experimented w/ using these beads on Aquila Bionylon Orchestra series Guitar strings (Low E, Low A, High G, High A, & High B) as well as those Oud Strings w/ the Original Red/Silver Plated Copper Wound 3rd String for Turkish & Arabic Tuning (for Iraq Tuning it's the 4th String), & I got super lucky because it helped increase the durability of the string by quite a significant amount. Those amazing beads allow any regular Tie End Classical Guitar string set (as well as Ukulele, Oud, Lute, you name it) to be converted into a Ball End String set because it bypasses the need to tie them onto the bridge, & it also lets the strings come out of the bridge at a steeper angle over the saddle which livens up the sound. The beads even have a Bass Clef Logo on the face of them so they look super musical.
