<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi Everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Yesterday I went to chicago to learn string
replacement. Unfortunatley, I had to learn on this tool called an insta
coiler. I literally hate this thing. First, am I suposed to simply use it
with the little thin handle, or is the top suposed to have a tuning lever tip
placed on it and turned by the tuning lever? We tryied that and the thing
wouldn't budge. I mean I had to hold the handle of the coiler and try to
keep it from moving as I turned the tuning lever. Then we tried using it
without the lever and turning it by the small thin handle that is attached to
it. For some reason I had trouble keeping the coiler strait enough and the
becket would slip out of the groove and then the tuning pin would simply turn in
the jig. Also, that adjustable color part kept comming loose so I had to
retighten it with the tuning lever. So I'm pretty fed up and p.... sed off
at this tool. Is it my lack of depth perseption or the is this tool
faulty? </FONT></DIV>

welcome. I'm serious too, don't even try that one with me with the mood
I'm in tonight. :)</FONT></DIV>

would be the serial number of the piano. The range I've heard several
times is in the 60,000 to 96,000 range, although I've replaced brackets on a

need replacing, it's a straightforward job. The piano is probably
