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. <BR>Marshall<BR></FONT> <BR>

<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><BR>

<DD>Hi Everyone,<BR>
<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><BR>
<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. :)<BR>

<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. <BR>
<DD>
<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! :-) <BR>
