I seldom have a splice break, and it is the only way to go, with an older piano, as a new string will not match tonally. Regards, John M.

I could have lost an eye, once upon a time, while working for the piano store. I had spliced a bass string, about C-4. on a very old upright. The knot broke, a sharp sliver of broken piano wire hit the plate, sparks flew, the piece then flew within a small fraction of an inch from the corner of my eye. I seldom splice bass stings any more, especially on the older models. Kenny Finlayson, RPT ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
