I need help with this one: This isnt Mandolin content, I have a small shop in a small one horse town, and I get a lot of instruments for advice on and repair. This music teacher just bought a brand new 3/4 size Bass Violin and the "D" string has broke twice at just before the turnstyle or capstain in the peg box. I asked her to return it to the manufacturer, but she replied that it is as is when shipped, no warranties on the strings as they told her. I said I will see what I can do, they brought a new "D" string for me to replace,, So I am apprehensive about changing this string. the other strings are wrapped type like a fine wrap of metal of some sort, I am not up to strings on these instruments. The wrap was unraveled almost like it just desintigrated or something. I am now in the process of taking the capstain out to give it a close examination to see if there is a metal burr on it to cause the breaking, or mabey it is a bad run of strings,, any help on this would be appreciated,,,,,,,DEnnis in Yuma Arizona
