Thanks for this video, it is a really helpful series of steps after replacing a string! 🙂

Thanks! The coil tightener is kind of a pain, but that’s the trick to really making the new string stable.

I use a ground-down and polished pair of pliers to massage the coil. It works in a similar fashion but not nearly as well as the tool you use. Is there a supplier who carries it , or is it home-made? Great video! Thanks.

Thanks! Schaff sells it. It’s called a coil tightener. When I replace a broken string this makes it so I don’t have to leave a mute in it and come back in a week. I forgot to mention that I also tune the new string as sharp as I can stand to hear it, and when I return in a few weeks it’s not too bad.
