| Dan told me once there is a lining between the wound wire and the gut core, and the lining gets damaged by the dryness in winter, the constant expanding and shrinking of the winding can do that. Ultimately it can affect the sound.
But you say the winding itself is coming undone, which suggests something else entirely. Although it hasn't happened to my Gamuts, I've heard of the winding coming undone at the bridge or nut because of the stress. At the places you mention (at about Bb or G), I wonder what might be the cause of that to happen on strings that were new in April.
It would be great to hear back from you how you resolve this one.
