Harpsichord Stringing I: The Coil of Wire

Stringing a harpsichord

[@fcburgner35]

If you don't have enough mechanical aptitude to know how to get a length of wire off the coil without the aid of a three min video should you be trying to put a string on?

One of the hardest things to gauge when making videos is the level of ability of the viewer. I assume you were just being funny, but I know that folks can have trouble with handling the coil of wire and accidentally ruin it. Thanks for your comment. I'm glad for you have the skills not to need this video. If only one person finds it useful and avoids turning their coil into a tangled slinky, I am happy.

it's actually very easy to remove the ties and end up with an useless tied up ball of wire

[@RichardAuber]

@@geovani60624 that is the point of the video. You don't need to remove the ties to feed out wire to make a string.

@@RichardAuber yes, that is what i was thinking, it wasn't guitar strings but i remember getting some long wire on ties and when i removed the ties it just turned into a ball of wire and i cauldn't do anything about it
