lifting strings

[Don]

Hi Stephane,

How are you using the stringing hook? Do you simply "pull up" or do you
"pull up and slide" . Pull up without slide will get the string to the top
of the agraffe. This can also be accomplished by tapping from below with
the action out. (which I prefer). Pull up *with* slide will deform the
string which can compensate for a "less than perfect" agraffe.
