[pianotech] hammers or strings?

[Porritt, David]

I have taught one concert pianist how to replace strings and got him reels of string from 13.5 gauge to 16 or so.  I also got an inexpensive tuning lever, stringing hook, some mutes etc. so he could do the job.  Personally, I think any pianist or piano teacher should know how to do some simple jobs like this.

Have any of you on the list ever taught string breakers how to splice or replace their own strings?
