D String problems

[ned911]

My D string keeps unraveling at the bridge. This is the 3rd string to do this so it must be something in the bridge. Recent development.

Should I take it to the shop or is this something simple I can fix.

What type of bridge are we talking about?

I'd guess a small burr on the bridge saddle. How about a bit of steel wool or sandpaper to smooth it over? (Jon or Tommy should be able to give you a better suggestion.)

If its any concellation, I break way more D strings than any other.

Sorry - just arrived in Southern Germany after some seriously long travel.

Bridge is a vintage trem on a Axis SS. One broke completely on a gig right in the middle of the "solo" on Higher. About died laughing when my singer get looking back with that - "why does this sound like crap" look on his face.
