Step 3Materials-Tools
Tools can be a plier. saw, awl or pick,Hemostat {locking type}
I used gas pliers to close the open looped cup hook [tuner screw]. This is need to easily tie a knot at this end.Home Depot sells 5/8 hooks nickel plate steel with a collar.cost about 5 cents.
A Dremel can be used to drill 1/16 drill bit pilot holes for the three screws.Screw the hooks all the way down to the little collars on thescrew. For tuning you might need assistance in screwing the tuner clockwise farther when tightening the strings.
String- canbe a rubber band cut into a string. I found it will work but I note the rubber deteriorates over time. I found an elastic string, made by Pepperell Crafts called 1mm bead/jewelry cord,is more stable and they last at least 5 years. Buy a spool at most Craft stores for under $2.00
Anchors- The string is passed through the 1/16 in hole and anchored on the under side with a crimp bead [found in any craft store] cost about 5 cents ea.
