<DIV><BR></DIV>Marshall,<BR>Essentially yes. If you check Richard's
detailed message he states that with modifications for pin size. As you
wind the hook hole is lifted up continuing the winding above each loop.
When you wind, you should be winding the tuning pin down into the block and
the reverse thread on the coiler should be lifting the coiler. If the
coiler is already fully lifted you will not be able to turn it any more which
is why you rewind it to the starting position each time before
starting.<BR><BR>Andrew Anderson<BR><BR>At 06:35 AM 3/29/2006, you wrote:<BR>

<DD>There were some very detailed messages on this. The coiler has
to be re-set ready to start each time. Ie. rewound back to the
beginning.<BR><BR>

<DD>Hi Andew and othes who replied about the coiler. If'ts ok with you
I"m going to print the e-malis and take them to my next raining
session. Maybe the pin is too tight on the jig. I can turn
it with the little handle,but man when I put the tuning lever on and try
to hold the little h andle of the coiler in place. it won't budge.
I'm not sure if it's a vision depth perseption thing or the tool is bad.

<DD>Marshall,
<DD>Is this the Scioretino insta-coiler? I like that tool.
You do have to back out the pin more than otherwise. You turn it
all the way in, run the string through the becket. Drop the
coiler down on top and engage the notch. Hold the thin little
handle so the notch faces where the string will come from at
tension. Put your tuning lever on and turn it three turns.
Back the coiler notch off and remove. Voila three nice
coils. Drive the pin level, lift the coil and tune up to
pitch.<BR>

<DD>Hi Everyone,
<DD>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? <BR>
<DD>
<DD>Any ideas other than , "Oh you're posting too much," are
welcome. I'm serious too, don't even try that one with me with
the mood I'm in tonight. :)

<DD>Rick,
<DD>Another action bracket tip off 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 few
Young Changs in the early 100,000s.
<DD>If the brackets need replacing, it's a straightforward
job. The piano is probably ready for a complete regulation
and voicing by now. </DD></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DD>I would think that it would be "normal" after replacing the
action brackets! :-)
