there's always a hitch

[Cy Shuster]

Thanks, Joe!  Now I understand Avery!  Well, a little, anyway; even if the
whole piano is strung with individual strings (none shared across a hitch
pin), you still have just as many tuning pin coils to form... so again, I
don't see that would save any time stringing.

But this horse is deader than dead now, so I'll stop beating it.. :-)
