You are very welcome for any help I may have been. Yes, Sometimes
strings break in spite of how careful you are. If you don't know how,
perhaps the next thing to learn is how to tie a string. I always tie a
string if it can be tied rather than replace it because a new string
will stretch like crazy. A tied string will stretch somewhat but not
nearly as much. Everyone may not agree with this but does a tied string
really matter on a neglected Hobart M. Cable? Just food for thought.
