I've watched so many videos and kept tripping over the "winding onto the peg" part. It almost seemed like trick photography and I didn't get it. This explains is so clearly -- thank you!
Does the winning the wire towards the top better than ending the string on the bottom since the string lay more straight and therefore hold the tuning better?
Clear and effective! May I be so bold as to ask you a question? In high-pitch strings, I need such a high number of windings to get the right pitch that I often run out of space on the metal piece. Is there a way to avoid so many windings? Thanks!
Cut the string shorter so you don't have so many windings. As long as it is nylon monofilament, you can cut it wherever you need to. Wound strings will have a tail past the length of the string. Do not cut the wound part as the string will unravel. But for short strings like you're describing, just trim it more so you don't end up with too many windings around the pin.

It was necessary to restring my lever harp (34) strings. Whew! this video helped me get through it. Thanks a bunch!
I have to say this is one of the better "how to install a harp string" videos I've seen, good job!
Definitely!
This is SO clear! Thank you!!!
OMG!! SOO helpful. I'm not going to lie, I had to watch this like a million times! (LOL)
This is a great video! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank-you! Great video!!

The vile knot is HISTORY,! Dusty Strings sells ‘buttons’ which are easier vastly easier, NEVER again those horrid knots!
Thank you for saying this! I'm going to get some of those buttons.
