Do you know these machines? http://www.meyne-klaviertechnik.de/start.php?go=10details&id=613&code=0&zustand=8&site= http://www.meyne-klaviertechnik.de/start.php?go=10details&id=614&code=0&zustand=8&site= I never used them and I am not shure if they are made for this kind of loop you want to produce. I guess they produce the long loops for bass strings. In the workshop I worked years ago we had just a nail in a wooden beam. In field service I used a bar clamp with a kind of hook for exactly that purpose. But the clamp broke and I can´t remember where I bought it.
