Ed: Yes, I can explain it on line........it just takes lots of practice. The trash man carried off lots of botched loops. Eventually you get them. Fortunately, you make the loop first before you put it on the piano, so if you make one and it's ugly, you cut it off and try another. Finally, your good loop/bad loop ratio improves, though it never gets to 100%. dave *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 2/25/2003 at 5:10 PM Ed Sutton wrote: >Dave- >I also got one to restring a M&H "A", and couldn't make it work. >....as if you could explain on line.....;( >Maybe you'll teach a class someday. >Ed >----- Original Message ----- >From: "David M.
