MessageHI,
Older Kawai KG-8C's had all individually tied strings.  Much easier to =
replace and better stability , especially when new.

  I would think that you might expect slightly better tuning stability =
with this system. On large pitch changes there's no way that the tension =
of one string of a unison can effect the other strings as might be the =
case with normal strings looped around a hitch-pin. Having all three =
strings the same length from hitch-pin to tuning pin can only help. My =
thinking is that once set up it might save significant time during the =
factory stringing process by having all strings pre measured for any =
given scale.

  List,

      I prepped a Kohler & Campbell grand (KCG-650) the other day and =
being of little knowledge I was wondering what is the point of having =
all the treble wires each individually tied off on their own hitch pin.  =
Surely it can't be tuning stability(?).  Or is it intended to save $$ =
for those that habitually break strings?  You know, better to break just =
one than two.
