String replacement under overstrung area

[Leslie Bartlett]

Jim Geiger uses a length of old fashioned curtain rod, and puts both strands
of the string through the holes on either side, and slides it down to the
hitch pin.   I have found some plastic tubing, about 1/8 inside diameter
through which I can put one strand, and accomplish the same thing. The
safety pin, though seems much simpler, except maybe when it comes to undoing
it down at the hitch........

I use a safety pin!  I clip a large safety pin through the loop of the
string and then around an adjacent string.  Then just push it from pin to
hitch, remove the pin and place it on the hitch pin.   Takes away all the
aggravation.

> 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?
