How to ACTUALLY change strings on a classical guitar – @daddarioandco #worldstringchangeday
It’s World Change Day everyone!
On June 6th Daddario reminds us to change the strings on our guitars, at least once a year! ????
Be part of the community and feel connected to your fellow guitarists from the comfort of your own home and CHANGE. YOUR. STRINGS! It is super important to do this regularly, and International String Change Day started by D’addario is a reminder to all of us.
Okay… but what’s the right way to change strings on a classical guitar?
The good news is, renowned classical guitar luthier Richard Bruné wrote “Removing all of the strings at once is not harmful to a well-constructed guitar.”
Daniel Friederich, famous French luthier, in an interview with the GSI Foundation: “I always recommend changing all the strings at the same time. Some people say that when you change all the strings, it creates an imbalance in tension on the soundboard. But in practice, I’ve never seen any negative consequences from changing all the strings simultaneously.”
Remember to follow standard string changing procedures, such as gradually increasing the tension on the strings and properly stretching them to ensure stability and optimal sound quality.
Avoid excessive amounts of string slack or unnecessary overlapping on the tuning pegs, but ensure a sufficient wrapping to stabilize the strings and ensure stable tuning.
It’s worth mentioning that if you have specific concerns about your guitar’s structural integrity or if it is an older instrument, you may want to consult a professional luthier for personalized advice.
Overall, while there may be differing opinions on this topic, changing all the strings at once is generally considered safe for a well-made classical guitar.
Save this for later or send it to a classical guitar nerd friend!
I was using some awesome @daddarioandco products to optimize this procedure, such as a string winder, headstock tuner, microfiber cleaning cloth and EJ46 strings 🙂
When was the last time you change strings? What are you going to put on today? Let’s get nerds in the comments!

I change all of my strings, and I take them all off so that I can properly clean the fretboard.
For those who are new to string changes on classical guitars, I would suggest that you put some thick tape down just below the bridge because it is super easy to scratch the top of your guitar while doing string changes.
If your guitar can't handle taking all of the strings off, then you need a better guitar. I have watched some of the best luthier and guitar techs out there change strings and they all take all of the strings off while doing string changes.
Thank you for making it easy for me.
I just change three strings at a time. Keeps tension and can still clean easily
my recommendation for new players is whatever’s fastest so you stop fiddling and start playing your guitar.
You sound like you're in the restroom at the county jail talking. You need some acoustic panels.
changed mine today!
You should remove the word "actually" from your title.
I bet there's a Luthier who says the exact opposite.
Your accent is so cute. Please don't try to sound native. Your accent is so much better.
I change 3 strings at a time, while I clean half the fretboard.
There’s a huge echo in your room you should use a close microphone
I messed up by putting the E string in the highest string post, the A string is on the correct string post and the D is on the lowest string post and so on. To make matters worse I cut the strings! If I were to re-string the guitar again the D string is too short to go up to the high string post. Will this wrong stringing hurt my guitar and do I have to throw out these strings and put on an entirely new set of strings? Help!
Nice tips❤
Fantastic tip! Is this guitar a Giussani?
I've been playing a few years but I changed them all at once. But I always try increased or decrease the tension evenly amongst the strings as best I can.
I see you used D'Addario EJ46 Pro-Arte strings. I will try them. It's not easy to judge strings without comparison on the same guitar. I have used EJ27N that seem to be good and less expensive. But; They seem like after playing them for a few months, intonation drifts lower.
its the most simple thing to do. the idea of changing it per string at time is so stupid and it does need luthier opinion on issue like this. get the job shit
Her eyes are so beautiful ????????️????????
Very mystical! I just changed my strings. Yesterday. Well, at least they were Pro- Arte' strings too! Cheap set. Cheap guitar too… Anyway, now I can get back to working on more verses to "She'll be Comin' Round the Mountain"…
By the way I love your playing
Do you have a zoom instruction course?
I did mine myself after re-gluing the bridge… lol. Not my first time re-stringing but the bridge this time flew off like a trebuchet ????
just don't like doing it ????
????????????????❤️????????❤️????
Love the use case idea for cat nail clippers ????
You didn't demonstrate on how to actually change strings. But still, you're nice to look at !
U look healthy and fertile and looks like you can have many healthy babies nice piece
My professor said it‘s the best way to just change each string
So you let the old ones there and change one than the next and so on…
Zhe one that i want to know is, where are the lessons to play
Te sigo amando❤❤❤
Wait a lot of people don't do all at once?
Put a small drop of glue on that nut. Problem solved. On steel stringed guitars you always glue the nut.
Oh no, all the sudden I suck at guitar, and I need a teacher. HINT HINT ???? KIDDING.
Not really
What guitar is this? I have this exact kind and have no idea what it is as I am new to guitar and am currently trying to learn on this guitar. If you have any information, thank you
Pro Arte sucks, Savarez rules.
