---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment Hi Matthew, Here is one way to do a splice. I am sure there are at least 6 or 7 other methods that will work also! splice1.jpg Using round nose pliers, make a 270 degree bend in one wire. Then make another 270 degree bend in the wire you are using to make the splice with. splice2.jpg Connect the two pieces of wire as shown. splice3.jpg As you pull on the ends of the wires, the knot will begin to form. splice4.jpg Another view of the knot. splice5.jpg Cut the ends of the wires so they are not sticking out more than 1/4". 1/8" is better! Just don't cut the ends so close that the knot could slip. Now that the knot is formed and pulling tight, you are ready to put the string in the piano. Attach the loop to the hitch pin, thread it through the bridge pins, up to the upper bridge pin (or agraffe), up to the tuning pin. Measure the length you need to make 3 turns around the tuning pin, and install the string. As you increase tension on the string, the knot will pull tighter and tighter. Voila! Hope this is helpful!
