[CAUT] Double loop German stringing

[pnotnr at aol.com]

 So the benefit of using a double loop (or eye) is that it does not cinch up on the hitch pin like a single?? Is there any other advantage?

I have probably over thought this, but I'm wondering if the double loop can cause the wire to leave the hitchpin slightly higher (like 1/2 the wire thickness) then a single loop, thereby affecting downbearing.? Probably too little to be a concern, (?)

It's not authentic, but I like the double loops and use them regularly for all tied strings on any piano.?

Ron Overs posted his jig for making the double loop, with a center bend so it doesn't cinch up on the pin.
