Espicially the bass strings. Secondly it takes me much longer to re string a note by the time all = supplies are in the house ready to go. So again=20 a knot is my choice. And you are correct this is old upright work not = new or top of the line instruments by any means<G> Joe Goss imatunr@srvinet.com www.mothergoosetools.com ----- Original Message -----=20 From: RCzekay@AOL.COM=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2001 7:26 PM Subject: Re: Knots to you Would it not be much more practical to just replace the string with = new wire?=20 If a string broke once, it for sure will break again in the future. = True, you=20 will have to go back to bring it up to pitch a few times, but in my=20 estimation that is a much better solution than tying a new piece of = wire to=20 an old length that is at the end of its life.=20 Another thought...If you are tuning an older piano, and you break a = few=20 strings, it is time to sell the customer a restringing job if the = piano is=20 worthy of it.
