Yes, looping, not winding...
What you need is steel piano wire, which is much stronger than harpsichord wire.  Order from Schaff, p. 79, size 7 or 8.

Not, I suspect, a very high tension scale.  But he's winding his own
strings, not using store bought autoharp strings.
So I'm gonna guess he's using harpsichord wire.....Wim?

Yes, I am using h'chord strings. Just set the record straight, I'm not winding my own string, just using my fingers to make a loop for the hitch pin. 

It has been very interesting reading Fred's post on strings. 

Thanks
