I had a hard time seeing what you were doing, but thanks for the video. Does the curved edge go up or face down? I thing the flat surface is up? I am currently using the String Tie brand (from Tenor in Germany) and they seem to be working well, but may use the Rosette Diamond Secures on my other guitar.
I've used them for a few years now. Ready to order a third set. On the treble strings, I swell the end tip a little using a Bic lighter... creating a micro ball shape. It's less likely to slip under tension this way. The treble strings, I only loop once through the string beads.
What are your thoughts on ball-end nylon strings?--------------My brother uses them because he's all thumbs and easily frustrated-------I use the traditional tying method because I believe it to be correct (and perhaps I'm a snob), although I, too, am all thumbs and easily frustrated.
The ball-end strings are not normally popular among classical player. I have neve tried them. Mostly recommended for folk music player. Probably they are good, I don't know.

look at the camera, look at the camera
8:00 Just teaching how to save money on treble strings. Sorry string companies, trebles lasts way way longer than bass strings. It is what it is.
