Hello to all! This morning I spliced a broken single bass string on an old upright. Since the the wire broke relatively close to the copper windings, it was necessary to remove some of them to be able to make the needed loop in the wire. All went well with the splice until I began pulling it up to pitch. It now has "zero" tone to it. It sounds as though it is being dampened somewhere. (However, it is not!) Could it be that too many windings were removed and it is now new wire time? (I removed about an inch of the copper) Thank you in advance Mark Montbriand
