    Hi Cy:
    1.  Two holes because you will be only using one or two holes =
depending on whether you are replacing a single string or two strings =
using one length of wire.  The holes keep the wires from twisting around =
each other as they are installed.
    2.  I stated 9 and 3 o'clock positions only for reference meaning =
they should be opposite each other.  I could have said 12 & 6, or 10 & =
4, or......
    3.  The end is soldered closed in order that the two holes can be =
drilled in the end of the tubing thus maintaining the correct =
orientation of the two wires.  Epoxy could be used, you could even smash =
the end of the tube flat then drill two holes.  The idea of two tubes is =
good also, the function of any tool of this type is to separate the two =
strings as they are being fished down to the hitch pin, and keep them =
separated as the tool is withdrawn. =20
    No mistake, the Pianotek version is a fine piece of work, but the =
brass tubes are somewhat fragile, and the cost is high for a tool that =
is used only occasionally. =20
