A technician friend in California called last night to tell me about his just spending $55 for an Insta-coiler from Schaff. He has not used it yet, so has no opinion yet as to whether it is a worthy tool. I heard from the head of the piano school which I attended that he bought a coil-making device years ago (not necessarily an Insta-coiler) in which the internal threads quickly stripped out and he wished he had spent his money on something else. Does anyone on the list have an opinion about this Instacoiler? Most of my stringing needs are replacing individual strings on pianos, as opposed to complete restringing jobs.
