change your string more frequently, when it starts to look frayed and dodgy get a new string and put it on. ---

i’m using a DM, and the string that came with it broke and it slammed into the floor. i just got this thing like a week or two ago so it kinda freaked me out, then i replaced it with the string off of a duncan mosquito because i had no other string and it did it like two days later, (right after my girlfriends dogs had a fight on my laptop and broke one of the keys on it, and i said “everything i have always breaks!” and i threw and the string broke…[irony?]) ---

I typically change strings about every 15 minutes to half hour. If you throw a solid 30 minutes then changing it is a good idea. ---
