Ditto on using smaller diameter (for more turns) waxed string. It is probably better to run it through real beeswax than depend on commercial treatment. The wax helps keep it in place on the French MP and the knots hold better. The wax may also effect the sound ... for the better?

I use a 36-40 inch skinny waxed "dress shoe" shoestring make by Kiwi (style 673). These aren't available in longer lengths than 27 inches, so I tie two together, with the adjoining knot on the top of the MP, opposite the reed.

Amazingly, many shoe stores don't stock shoestrings at all!

So, I am going to find either a longer one made by someone else or another type of string.

I experimented with various type of shoe string before I decided the skinny waxed string worked and sounded the best ...

Tom
