[pianotech] Making a hitch pin loop

[johnparham at piano88.com]

The easiest way for me to make a hitch loop is to use round-nose pliers,
make a 3/4 loop with a long tail, then hole the loop with your pliers
while you push the tail around the wire to make the coils.  No special
tools are required.
