Hi Chris, I keep pushing the pin in with one hand whilst winding the string with the other. Not easy, but it works for me.
I once was allowed access to a Panormo in a historical instrument museum collection. As I was playing, one of the bridge pins flew out, bounced off a nearby cabinet...and disappeared. I looked everywhere for it, but no avail. Eventually I had to inform the curator that I had lost one of their bridge pins. A small hunt ensued with five people scouring the ground and every other surface. Still no bridge pin. I felt awful, and eventually went home feeling sheepish. I vowed never to set foot in the museum again. However...while watching TV later that evening, I glanced down and saw the pin sticking out from the turn-ups in my trousers! I returned it the next day. Be careful with those criters!
