Other than the top octave, where you might be able to work the string in 
behind the action, the easiest way to install a strings in a spinet is to 
remove the action. Although this might sound like a lot of work, which it is, 
in the long run, it is much faster and easier than trying to fight the action 
and the keyframe. Take it from someone who's been doing this for 25 years.

Good luck
