bass strings usually have french.
old Chickering single strung sections were french
single treble strings like you find at the ends of sections and other
loop/tie configurations like Baldwin SD6 middle section generally are german
you need a lot more room between hitchpin and aliquot/bridge/whatever for a
french loop.
ZUT! Alors!! NO jokes!!
