Have not been able to find the Dial String for 38_15. I think it was on wrong and wrapped around the upper shaft. Here is my best guess. I saw a 38_14 on the site but could not verify the string. Thx in advance

I have been using hemp twine and 3/16" brads to secure the string to the dial. Any tips I will be doing this shortly.

Assuming that the tuner is in the fully meshed position in your drawing, I would add one turn around the pulley going counterclockwise. The tuning shaft should have at least 2 1/2 turns around it. No turns around the upper shaft, it's just there for tensioning.

YMMV
