Cy, <br><br>
And how many seconds/minutes does it take you to make all those
individual coils<br>
for an entire piano and make it look as good as the factory does? :-)
<br>
Just wishing I could do it better! <br><br>

bulk reel of wire of a certain gauge: only takes a second to snip it to
the right length, and you've got the same number of tuning pin coils to
make.<br>

<dd><font face="arial" size=2 color="#000080">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.<br>

<dd><font face="Times New Roman, Times"> </font><font face="arial" size=2>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.<br>
