Forceps, tweezers and jewelers loupe in hand I am on my way this
afternoon to replace a broken string on a Philip Belt copy of a Walter
fortepiano.

I'll use new wire for the replacement but I'm just curious... is there
any reason to think that a splice can't be made in this tiny, tiny wire.

Looking forward to making the hitch loop:-(
