Fair enough. Might even be able to slide it off but it is dicey to remove a string once the string gets a bend going around the tuning peg. Additional bending can fatigue the string metal and cause it to break right at the post. Yep, I was a kid who 1. rode my whole childhood without a bike helmet never getting a concussion and 2. engaged in BB gun wars with the other neighborhood kids. Nobody lost an eye. I seem to get away with ready, fire, aim regularly.😄
