Restringing

Splicing is not something I do every day, or everyweek, so I tend to forget
how to do it. ( I'm in my 50s) So, I practice from time to time with garbage
bag ties. Laugh if you like, but I can splice a string for you any time. Not
a square knot, though. :-)

  It seems to me,

  As replys abound,

  We get more confused

  With every round.



  Coils or loops,

  Which do we mean?

  One goes on the pin,

  The other goes on …um … the other pin.



  BTW IMHO the Sciortino is a great (expensive) tool when it works, which
for me is about half the time. Never have figured out why it sometimes does
not. It’s like splicing a string: Sometimes I can do it in the dark with one
finger in my nose, other times I stare stupidly at the ends and can’t
remember what goes which where or why.

  No, Harry, I've never broken a string with one of those, (they're perfect
when you're not removing the tuning pin on bass strings, though, aren't
they?)

      We were referring to the coil makers for single strings on hitch pins.

    Does the warning earlier on the list about crank coilers apply to the
Sciortino Insta-coiler?

    Thanks from someone who will always read the subject line “Pretty Darn
Frequently”
