When you look in the archives, also be sure to look for = methods using vice grips to bent the string around. From what I = understand, this is the slickest way to go. I have been using the knot = in Reblitz with good success also. I haven't figured out the vice grip = method yet - largely because I don't seem to be able to search the = archives - if you do find some good posts on this (maybe some from Ron = N.) maybe you might pass them on to me!?!?!?!? Thanks and good luck. Regarding prevention of string breakage in church pianos, I have heard = that two things seem to work best. One is to provide for an earlier = letoff - will tend to depower the hammer striking the strings. The other = is to provide the pianist a 10,000 watt bank of speakers situated very = close to the pianist and pointed straight at her/him - with volume = turned up real high. This can help the pianist think that merely = pounding the $%&# out of the keyboard is sufficient to be heard (by all, = including the Goddesses!). =20 Terry Farrell former SAT #363 owner ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Jon Page=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 9:30 AM Subject: Re: String splicing=20 At 08:34 AM 12/4/2001 -0500, you wrote: Hi list,=20 I would like to start a discussion on string splicing.I have = recently inherited several=20 churches with string breaking going on.(I think to bad playing = habits,but maybe some=20 discussion on that.)I know of the knot in Reblitz,and have had = success with it.But I=20 know the wealth of knowledge on the list maybe can throw new = light,new methods on=20 this subject.=20 Thanks to all,=20 Hazen Bannister=20 Western Carolinas Chapter=20 All this is in the Archives.
