blown out bridge pin

[Farrell]

Okay, gotcha. You know, I have noticed many times when a plain-wire string 
that is shared by two notes breaks - the slight loss in volume is no more 
noticable than the uneveness in volume/tone of the rest of the piano (keep 
in mind, we are talking spinet here....). If budget is a significant factor 
here, I think that you have come up with the best solution by far. I'd tell 
'em that they will barely be able to tell any difference in volume, and they 
should put the $50 or more than they will be saving into the new piano fund.
