If you're re-stringing it anyway, I would remove the plate and make a proper repair, (cut off the bad section of bridge cap, and make a new cap).

Greetings,?
?
I'm planning to put new strings on an old upright Forster piano.?
It is really a good piano sounding very nice.?
I need to do a repair on the brigde at the treble section as you can see on the picture.?
The easiest way to do it would be to take the frame off and repair or replace the broken piece.?
Has anyone suggestions to repair it without taking the frame off??
I could put some glue on it and glasp it but it is a very difficult place to do it.?
?
Thanks for the advice,?
