I made a Flemish single 49 years ago when Zuckermann was still in Manhattan. Many moves later I have misplaced the manual and three .008 inch soft iron treble strings needed to be replaced. I still have the hammer/ stringing tool and a small roll of the original wire. This beautifully made video was all that I needed to refresh my 80 year-old brain's memory. Well done, thank you!

This video saved my ass today. Thank you.

thank you so much for this - I built a Zuckermann French Double years ago and recently needed to fix a few strings (and I'd completely forgotten how to do it) - BTW the harpsichord is beautiful - I enjoy playing it every day.

Ouch! A harpsichord sting!

Looks pretty easy in brass but wait until you try a .10 steel one. It takes a lot of practice to develop a feel for getting it right.

Richard, this is an excellent video. I've just sent the link to a friend.

@@RichardAuber Looking forward to it. Much harder than the linch pin loop.

have them already used the steel wire for the music in the Renaissance-Baroque era?
