Hitch pin loop

[@northislandpiano8377]

Is there any chance you could do a video on how to make this tool with a wooden dowel?

[@lucyurlacher9794]

That’s a good idea. Thanks!

The little metal tool with hole and screw (which can easily be made out of a piece of wooden dowel) is no good for covered strings!

You are correct. I’ve not had too many bass strings break at the hitch pin. If that happened I would splice on a loop from a discarded bass string, or replace the entire string.

все верно... хотя можно обойтись и без закрутки на одина рную петлю ... и без ковидного намордника

My google translation is “Everything is right. Although you can do without twisting it on one loop.” For me, making the loop first, very close to the size of the hitch pin, is very important. Look at the loop you are replacing and go that same direction. Also make the tail that lays on the plate go the same direction as what you are replacing.
