An improvement on the Schaff bass-string twister/installer would be.....

[Michael Magness]

I don't think so, my understanding was we were talking about replacing
individual strings in a strung piano
the original comment was regarding an improvement of the Schaff Bass string
twister/installer.
Ichimed in by saying I had never owned on and just used my small vice grips
for twisting and then on the hitch pin for keeping the loop inplace while I
made the coil and placed it on the pin and pulled it to pitch.
