Should you replace all strings if one breaks?

I would, otherwise, one string may sound way different than the others unless they are the same brand and age. I would replace them one at a time when I was changing the set to keep the bridge in the right position.

I think it depends on the age of the other strings. If they have a lot of play time on them and one breaks I would replace them all. YouTube has really good videos on the proper way to change your strings. Good luck.

If the string failed due to age and normal wear from usage, then replace them all since many times a new string will not match intonation with the old ones. If , however, it failed due to over tightening or a kink and the set is relatively new, then you may be okay with replacing only the one string.

I wouldn't change them all at the same time if you have an acoustic. You could cause the soundpost inside to fall out of place. Personally, I'd only replace the broken string, unless you have cheap ones on. Either way change them one at a time.

Hi, Margaret. (That was my late Mother's name!) I recommend buying LOTS of strings. They are really inexpensive per string when you buy large quantities. I get mine in lots of 100 from yo-yo stores on the web. Just look on Amazon or google "yo-yo strings in bulk". Good luck! UPDATE: And BTW... The most common cause of early string failure is over or under-winding, depending on whether you are right or left handed. A good yo-yoist must always work to keep just enough twist in the string. Beginners do this by spinning the yo-yo right or left while it is dangling at the end of the string. Which direction you spin it depends on whether you need more twist, or less twist. You should strive to keep the amount of twist close what it was when the string was new. You will get the hang of it.

There are six strings, for exact replacement of your current strings on your guitar.

Did not have this problem yet. Have a problem with the strings always breaking. I guess wood glue could do it.

Replace only the ones that run out - that is the beauty of having separate color cartridges. It is always good to have a replacement for every cartridge in reserve. So, when you use your last cartridge of any color or black size, make sure to get replacements for it as soon as possible. The printer will not function if a cartridge is empty!

Good for starters string gives out after excessive use. And I mean excessive.

I think you can replace the element if that's what has broken. If you go to a sight called 'How To Mend It' they seem to have an answer for you. good luck and a Happy New Year to you and your family.

Depends on what type of strings you want. Google Guilele strings http://www.stringsandbeyond.com/aqgust.html#

no, you will have to remove any that need replaced and solder these back on.

Should be no different than the elastic in your bathing suit. Also you can replace the string if it breaks and still use the system.

Firstly, I'm assuming you know that strings are traditionally numbered from bottom to top, smallest to largest. Secondly, I don't know anybody that sells individual strings. Typically, even if they did, it would do no good, as the strings will not sound good unless they are all fresh and clean and very similar to each other. Believe me, you mix new and worn (stretched) strings together, you're likely to make dogs howl and people with good pitch perception cringe!

Marg, I wouldn't think replacement would be all that hard. You would have to extend all the lines out to their ends, this "loads" the retracting spring, then disconnect the broken line and replace. The new line will have to be as long as the others. The worst, that I found with mine, was getting all the lines at the same lengths went locked & ready for clothes.

Jon,Let me tell you my personal experience. I have been playing for 30+ years and the only other strings I would consider using other than these are Vinci's. Before changing strings with a new set of these, I had used the previous set of Elixir for more than 2 years. Only towards the "end" did they begin to show wear. I will probably use these strings from now on. 5 stars.

I have not had to replace any strings. Try Googling for replacement strings.

Nope... not a problem... you are replacing the whole thing, so there is nothing to mismatch..

Yes you don't need to replace. I would use 4 gauge anyway. Always better to have more than what you need as a safety blanket.
