<html> <body> Robin, I don't really understand what you're asking. Tieing (sp) single tie strings is a totally different ball game than "managing the coils"! Bose "used" to offer all the plain strings already with the loop on them. All you had to do was put them on the hitch pin, (just like bass strings), install them, pull them up and you're done! Except for the normal tuning(s) of course. I've done one that way and I LOVED it! Avery P.S. For those of you who might not know, all plain wire strings on a Bose are single tie, just like bass strings!

I'd like to ask about getting a set of plain wire strings to restring one of our pianos. With them all being single tie strings, I don't really want to do that!   Avery   _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: <a href="https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives">https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives</a> .</blockquote></body> </html>
