When you're putting new pins in a new pinblock, it goes pretty quickly. I've seen it done quickly with two people, one managing the hitch pin, and the other the tuning pins. The tuning pin person has gloves and a T-handle wrench. Clip the end three fingers past the string, put it through the becket, make the 90 degree bend, then stretching the string to control the loops, just form the coil in the air against your gloved palm. Coils formed, pound in the pin, lift the coils, bring it roughly to tension, and on to the next... --Cy Shuster-- Bluefield, WV ----- Original Message ----- From: "jason kanter" <jkanter@rollingball.com> To: "Pianotech" <pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2004 1:40 PM Subject: RE: A Visit to Hradec Kralove (the Petrof factory) > "Workers at Petrof can string a piano in about 30 minutes."
