Schild guitars are extraordinary, or maybe just Swiss.
I was considering one but I forget why I didn't go for it.
Either they don't do keyless or they don't do 12-string, or I'd have had to sell one of my planes to finance it.

It's a bit like a castellated nut but with the cavity filled with (I guess) nylon so that it's stiff on the thread.
Originally designed to be shakeproof, it behaves like a nylon tuner. I guess the Swiss regard it as more sophisticated than the traditional tuner, although it still requires spacers. It's available off the shelf in different sizes like a regular nut.

Ah ha. I like that idea. Seems like it would be very consistent; until they started getting a little oily.

About 1960-61 our metal shop teacher took us to a Mine Machinery Expo. There was a NyLoc booth at the show. They had the nuts with nylon washer crimped in them.
They also had a drill press set up and was demonstrating another way to make a NyLoc arrangement. They drilled a blind hole into the threads of a bolt, Then pressed a nylon button into the blind hole. When the nut screwed over the nylon button it locked the bolt and nut for use in high vibration situations.
They had a setup for sale, Where you could drill existing bolts in machinery and add the NyLoc button for vibration proofing.
It just came to mind writing this.
At that Expo the rep was cutting the buttons from a roll that looks like a roll of modern Weed Eater String.
I feel a tinkering experiment coming on. |

 I think the nylock is better than the current system.
They are cheap too buy an easy too find .
I have used them too hold the pull rod in the bell crank
I thread a 440 thread on a 3/32 s rod then bend.
I bought a 1/4 inch ratchet wrench too speed up the process. |
