Dusty Strings has this to say about this nifty little product:
"To all the harpists out there who have struggled with the harper's knot, we've heard your cries of frustration, and we are thrilled to finally be able to share The Harper's NOT!

We know tying the traditional knot with a slippery string and tiny spline is difficult or painful for many people, sometimes to the point of near impossibility, and that means a broken harp string can be a huge source of stress and anxiety. We've attacked this problem at various points over the years, looking for a string anchoring method that would be easier on the hands, would be relatively simple to use, and would hold firm without causing string breakage or loss of tone. It was a more difficult journey than we thought it would be, but we think String Buttons check all the boxes.

Larger than a spline
Infinitely reusable
Can be threaded in a simple pattern without the need for tightly pinching with your fingers
Won't spring apart midway through the knot
Makes use of the mechanical power of the tuning pin to cinch down the knot
Fits nylon and gut strings up to .080"/2 mm on any make of harp

A pack contains 12 black String Buttons, an instruction card, a link to the video instructions on Dusty's String Buttons page, and an extra, quick-reference instruction card that you can keep handy or pass on to a friend.
