In the spring of 2008, having completed the winding machine, I wound the first set of coils. This follows the process, start to finish, what coils I wound and why, what worked and what didn’t, as I travelled from Virginia to Florida. It continues the series of Pickup building videos, continuing on from building the winding machine and the bobbins for coils, to the actual first generation of coils.

The complete story, with pictures and more details is includes in the "Pickups" section of the Hammered Dulcimer section of this website
