Thank you so much for posting this! I am learning how to restring at the moment.

[@PianoWrench]

Great! Let me know how it goes.

With the Coil Maker, the small threaded bolt should only be above the platform by very slightly more than the thickness of the wire - not three coils' width. And the tuning pin can sit so that the hole is just visible at the surface - again, not three coils' width above.

learnt a good method today 👍

[@PianoWrench]

Good to hear!

[@waudio777]

Very good video. I think it should be at least 3 1/2 turns (?)

[@PianoWrench]

Yes, there should be 3.5 to 4 turns of the coil on the tuning pins once the piano is restrung and tuned. If you make 3.5 turns at this stage of the restringing, then you'll end up with over 5 turns which is too much.

2.5

[@thebinkles2]

If you hammer to deep. Should you pull the pins up. Or....

[@PianoWrench]

Yes, in the unlikely event of a pin being hammered too deep down, it is highly recommended to unscrew it to the proper height. There needs to be enough distance for the string coil, and it should not be touching the plate.

where can I get the coil maker?

[@PianoWrench]

I purchased mine from Schaff. Howard Piano also sells them and you can find them on ebay as well.
