Broken string repair

[Clyde Hollinger]

Hazen,

If the remaining end of the string is long enough, I would do the splice
with the string already in the piano and through the pressure bar.  But
in a spinet you're likely not to have enough room to work.  In that case
(and I've never faced it) I would probably replace the string.  There'a
a limit to what flesh and blood can endure.

Regards, Clyde
