strings o spinet

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Frank,
             I use a stringing hook, turn the pin out 3 turns,measure your
coil length, make the becket, set the becket hole at 9 o'clock, form the
coil with the string hook. Once the coil is formed back off a little and
lift up to form a tight coil, pull to pitch, and tighten the coil with a
coil setter. Works 90% of the time.
Hope this helps.
Roger
