The easiest technique I've used is to estimate the length of the proper =
size wire, fold it to form the bend around the hitch pin, slide it =
through a curtain rod, insert the rod into the work area getting it as =
close to the bridge and hitch pin as possible, slide the wire over the =
bridge and onto the hitch pin, clamp the pin only with a vise grip to =
keep the wire there, finish as usual.  Also, check out the list of =
publications offered through the PTG home office.  Several good =
selections are available to help you through basic piano sevice =
situations.  Keep working,  you'll keep learning. =20

  List,

  What is the easiest way to replace a broken string in a spinet action =
provided it cannot be spliced?  I just did this on a 1970 Hobart M. =
Cable Spinet on C8 - probably the easiest one in the piano and it was a =
great struggle.  I do not look forward to dealing with the overstrung =
section of a spinet.  I did it with the action still in the piano.  Is =
there an easier way or some invented tool to simplify the procedure?

  Thanks,
  William R. Monroe
