I don't know how many of you ever use iron or brass, but it seems to
last forever sound-wise. If I break one on a longer scale instrument,
I file it away in case I break one on shorter scale instrument. I
keep the old strings in envelopes according to gauge - must be my
librarian experience. I save the ones that are too short, too - you
never know when I might get a shorter instrument.

You mean, like, you reuse fret gut? Dang!
I have a box where the new (and newish) gut is in the front, mostly
organized by diameter (thank heaven for Aquila giving 2 paper
envelopes per string), a nylgut section after that and fret gut/used
gut strings in the back, again in envelopes by size.
My best friends here are zillions of string envelopes and a digital
caliper (currently less than $10 at Harbor Freight)
While I change strings or frets the working table becomes an ode to
entropy.

How long is a piece of string?

FALLEN INTO THE CARPET?
