Stringing up the old gitfiddle

I have always been curious as to the correct way to attach the strings to the stopbar tailpiece. I have done it both ways, through the back to front and then over the bridge, and through the front to the back, then OVER the stopbar to the bridge. I have seen others do it both ways. Decided to see what I could find on it and came across this nice little clip on Utube. I liked the way he tied off his stings on the tuning peg. Thought I would post it in case there are others with a similar question.

I've done it a number of ways, but the common denominator:

I HATE CHANGING STRINGS!!!

Thank you for posting that. I've been a milquetoast "twice around, then through the eye" kinda guy since I started playing. That looks like a very efficient technique that will allow the strings to settle quickly. Good stuff!
