There are devices to hold the string while you insert it through but you can also just use a long dowel with a slot cut in the end where you can insert the string then feed it through from the top (action removal may be required).

I was tuning my mom's ancient upright (1908) and of course a string broke. Even worse, it was D#4 and in the area where the strings overlap. While this was great stringing practice, I have to believe there's a trick to getting the string where it needs to go (and stay there) without hours of heartache and assistance from my dad! I felt like I was torturing this poor old piano. Any words of wisdom? Michelle Smith Bastrop, Texas -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
