Broken String

[James Gammon]

Did I miss something?  Is this request unusually outlandish?  Did I 
somehow indicate that I wanted the string pre-tuned, or even thought 
that such a thing was possible?  I just happen to be a guy who likes 
to fiddle with stuff, and wouldn't mind the experience of putting the 
new string in myself.  My understanding is that a new string costs 
around $10, so unless this understanding is wrong, it's worth breaking

another one (or two) to a tinkerer like myself to have the experience 
of re-stringing it. I know how to tune it to a unison with the 
other E3 string.  Perhaps I stand to do serious damage to the piano 
somehow?  If this is the case, by all means, I'll have a registered 
technician do it.  

   Confusedly,
