Replacing Spinet Strings - the Coil

[Clyde Hollinger]

Friends,

Unless I overlooked something, most/all of the discussion has been
concentrated on how to get a new string to the bottom of a spinet piano.
Anyone have any special tips about getting the coil on the tuning pin,
especially when the tuning pin is only about 1/8" from the pressure bar?  I've
always gotten it done, but sometimes not without ruining my mood for the rest
of the day.

Regards,
Clyde
