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.

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.

We need a good video of putting a string on an old style tuning pin without a hole!

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