They can give you instructions on how to order a replacement string. Since it is a Baldwin Acrosonic and since they probably have the scale on hand, they might even be able to send you the exact replacement string on the spot. Have the serial number and scale number (if you can determine it) handy when you call. Good luck. Tom Seay Piano Tech Office School of Music The University of Texas at Austin t.seay@mail.utexas.edu
