I do = quite a lot of bass string splicing - saving the client a lot in string = replacement (never works, replacing one out of a pair, does it!) Made me = realise just how much I value what I have. Made by HOPPE in Western = Germany, they are 4 and 3/4" (the ALT+0190 doesn't seem to work in = Outlook Express...) long and have a wire cutter hole as well. VERY = strong - which is essential for close bending 0.053" piano wire for the = preforming of the two reef-knot halves.
