Dear,

 

Not at all.

Take the smallest plastic tube you can find (tube in which the electric
wires are put in buildings, but take the smallest), put the string(s) so in
it that the wire is coming out a little bit at both sides of the tube and
pass  then carefully unther the overstrung area.  Hook the string over the
hitch pin and pull away the plastic tube.  Done.

I am figuring a quote, and I just wanted to be sure of something.

 

Is the only way to replace a treble string that passes under the overstrung
area by loosening tension of all bass strings and removing them from their
hitch pins?
