I do have some waste, but unless I'm cutting for an exact piece of wire, ala I won't need to cut again when stringing, why carefully measure?

Next you hang the wire on the hitch pin and thread it through the bridge up through the agraffes and then cut each wire again for proper coils and becket line up. I am not much concerned with waste wire either but I see three cuts for two pins instead of one cut for two pins, am I understanding you correctly? David Koelzer Vintage Pianos DFW
