Jim,

I remember a fellow tech talking about how the Bosendorfer stringers
made the plain wire loops by winding the wire around a bent nail held in
a vise. The free end of the wire was wrapped around the standing end
with a pair of pliers. Sounds primitive but the wire would not be
unnecessarily stressed.
