No reason to make the holes small. All you need is the divider in the =
middle to keep the strings on their respective sides. If you don=92t =
make the holes big enough you won=92t be able to use it for wound =
strings.=20

    Hi Mickey:
    I have a stringer from Pianotek, and it works great on both =
verticals and grands!  But after seeing how it is made, you can make one =
up for a fraction of the price.  Go to your local auto supply store and =
buy a 3 ft section of 1/4" steel brake line, the straight kind, not the =
curved tubing.  Cut off one end and discard the threaded nuts that come =
with it.  Solder that end shut and drill two small holes through the =
solder at 9 and 3 o'clock.  The holes should be large enough to accept =
the largest plain wire size you may encounter.  VOILA!  You're done.
True it won't extend as the P-Tek, but you'll seldom need that feature.  =
Total expenditure: $5 and 1/2 hour of time. =20
