Jerry queried: "Joe, Can you explain this a little bit? Sounds like a great idea. Jerry et al, For a bass sting: put the safety pin, (open), into the sting loop; close the safety pin around it's future neighbor; slide it down, (with the damper pedal depressed, to clear them); go to the bottom; unsnap the safety pin and proceed. Put a hemostat, (curved), over the hitch pin to keep the string on the hitch pin, while you work at the tuning pin. Simple and effective. For plain wire: make the usual bend, (for the hitch); tape the safety pin to the bend; attach to a neighboring string and proceed as with the bass string.
