Piano Wire Canisters

[John M. Formsma]

Hi Isaac,

 

For my trunk, I also use an ammo case, which I’ve painted black so it
doesn’t look so much like I’m carrying 50 caliber bullets around with me.
;-)  The case holds my stringing tools as well, but it’s becoming a very
tight fit these days. I like the fact that it has a rubber, water-tight
seal.

 

In the shop, I use the 1 lb canisters with one hole drilled through the top.
However, I don’t use them much because I haven’t really started major
restringing.

 

Your tip about the denim pouches is really good. I just wrote the sizes on
the wire dispensers w/ brakes.

Hello,Listers! 

In my case,1 lbs wire canisters stay in the shop,some of them “Rust in
Peace”.I prerefer to use 1/3 or ¼ wire dispencers with brakes and all 22
sizes are nicely fitted in an old ammunition metal box.

In order not to loose end of wire in 1 lbs canisters I attach  it on a
tuning pin,make 3 coils and make 2-3 bends.The bends make it very easy to
“fish” it out..Hope,this little tip helps,try it... 

To make 1/3 lbs dispencers safer,I had purchased nice pouches from denim
fabric from American Piano Covers,they come in 2 colors with Velcro.One
color for ##12,13,14,etc,another color for 12 ½,13  ½,ETC,NUMBERS ARE
WRITTEN ON THE COVER WITH THE FELT TIP MARKER..It speeds-up finding those
dispencers quickly.    Isaac  Sadigursky,RPT. Los Angeles Chapter
