Can you explain clearly why the winder is used for one side of the string and the T handle for the other? It seems to turn the same direction for both, and the length of the becket is the same...

I have a 1912 ish I guess, Davenport and Tracey piano I am currently cleaning. Thought about restringing but just being a cabinet builder and a guitar player, you’ve shown me I’m outa my league haha. Great video.
The string set in the high treble are in reverse order. The single string is closest to the frame not on the right. Try working from the (steel) tenor bridge to 88.
Yes - I was wondering about that. I've never seen or done a string job with 88 having the solo string. I was doubting my sanity. It'll work, but not the convention.
No wonder pianos are never in tune. Who came up with the idea to wire two different notes with same wire? The whole thing would be more in tune if every string would have its own tuning pin
Blüthner uses individual strings per hinge, most other manufacturers use double strings per hinge. It basically depends on the question how much work you want to have when a string breaks during a concert.
This was amazing. Thank you. I think I will be hiring a professional rather than mess up my own by myself - which is so helpful to know and plan!
This has been helpful. I hope you won't mind my sending you a few photos of some work being done on a friend's piano.
This is totally awesome and just what I needed. Thanks!
Withs pins did you use?

Every string does have its own tuning pin. Each note has multiple strings to increase stability, volume control, and redundancy.

I allways weave a patch of felt between the strings to avoid the hellish noise. Before raising the pitch I remove this.
