---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Richard, I usually do 2 to 2 1/2 coils. I'd rather have too few coils than too many. Unwinding bass string coils ain't much fun. I don't use a winder, I just use a dummy tuning pin. With this method, it is easy to keep track of where you are in relation to your target pin. Hope this helps, Dave Stahl In a message dated 6/2/05 7:24:36 PM Pacific Daylight Time, richard.ucci@att.net writes: I had three coils on the pin, and was able to unwind enough to get the string over the hitch pin. RU/UP -------------- Original message from "Alan Barnard" <tune4u@earthlink.net>: -------------- What you describe is correct assume you pulled the top of the string up to the right pin, used the fat part of your fingers and only made about 1 1/2 to 2 turns on the coil maker, if you make all three turns it becomes very hard to stretch the string up and over the in-piano pin. Were you able to unwind the coil a little and get it on? Alan Barnard Salem, Missouri ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
