The bridge is on, the string holes are drilled, and the first string is inserted into its hole.
If you point the curved string at the sound hole it will emerge from the hole as seen in this photo. Then it is a simple matter to tie a figure eight knot .
 Snug up the knot with pliers, |  Snip off the excess |
And pull the string up to the tuner.
And the first string is on.

And now for the rest of the strings,
And this pretty Concert is strung and sounding wonderful. I am very pleased with the instrument and with the strings.
