The Stringer II. Page D-32 Pianotek catalog. I've used mine for years and it works great.

Others use curtain rod thingees and other contraptions that likely work reasonably well.

  Hi everyone.  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?
