You might keep that in mind for the future... >John Formsma I experienced what you mention in more than once in the distant past, but finally realized later on down the road after being totally frustrated as to my technical abilities whatsoever, I was using the incorrect harpsichord wire. I had misinterpreted the markings the builder put on the pinblock as to what wire size and/or type of wire to use. Certainly makes or breaks a successful string replacement. :-) Hey, maybe this qualifies for at least a 1 on the Tremper "thingee".
