Hi Hazen,
About ten years ago I got a 6 inch plastic pvc pipe about=20
6' 6" and put a solid cap on one end and a screw on lid on the other. =
Becuase the strings sealed in they are no longer exposed to the changes =
in weather and humidity. I find that the strings have developed far less =
discoloration than they use to.
Out weather causes strings to gather moisture if left outside
due to condensation.They ride with me in the Windstar and are never =
taken out of the van.
I also like to work with the string that is a little straighter.
IThe strings are also organized into three groups of sizes, 50 through =
90 thou, 90 through 100 thou, and 100 up
The strings are tied in a bundle with heavy cord at the ends and in the =
middle.
Once in the tube (that can be tricky) they are only removed one at a =
time for use as each string is tagged with a micrometer number at the =
loop end and are easy to pull out of the tube. the tube holds about 200 =
strings.
To remove a string the whole bundle must be out of the tube about a =
foot.
