Since the vise grip has an edge, doesn't that make this tool slightly less effective than the roundnose plier? -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org]On Behalf Of A440A@aol.com Sent: Monday, November 22, 2004 1:22 PM To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: Re: Tying Strings...The Best Tool(s) << >In a previous post, I recommended reviewing a Nautical Knots book.

Make a loop in the existing end by grabbing the very end and turning it clockwise 270 degrees, so that it crosses over itself. Make another loop in your new piece by turning it counterclockwise. Then, invert it, hook across the existing piece and feed the end through your first loop. Draw tight, cut to length, tune.
