Anyone run into a broken becket? Tuning a 50 year old Kohler & Campbell spinet yesterday, when BANG (you know the sound) and a single bass string let go. Yet it was still in position. Close inspection revealed that the becket had broken and the string coils were still in place on the pin. Straightened out the coils, made a new bend and put the wire back, and tuned up fine. What gives?
