Hi Robin,
                I believe, I said. Change all 6 lengths of string on the 
two notes. I've become adept at rubbing new wire out, so the unisons will 
stay fairly stable.
It takes about a half hour at most, and a good amount of that time is spent 
organizing the tools.
If you have a dummy pin with a cup drilled in the bottom. Form the coil on 
the dummy, place it on top of the pin. ease out becket, and slide wire 
down, and on to the pin.
You end up with a nicely formed coil that is easy to work with.  Doing it 
this way I find I only have to back the pins out about a half turn, so the 
torque stays about as good as possible.
I rarely work on verticals, but it would take a bit more time due to the 
pressure bar and less space.
Regards Roger
