<div>Last weekend, I tuned a console for a lady and discovered that a treble note was missing a string. I pointed it out to her and I will be coming back to replace it.</div> <div> </div> <div>But I got to thinking....there are no traces of this broken string anywhere in the piano. Totally vanished. So, I am assuming that the previous tuner broke it, and didn't say anything. Is that a fair assumption?</div> <div> </div> <div>Anyway, how do I get a mic reading from the adjacent string, or calculate which size wire to use? I know PianoTek sells a micrometer than enables you to measure diameters of strings still in the piano, but I'd rather not spend $200 on this item if I can help it, and I'm assuming this situation doesn't happen THAT often.</div> <div> </div> <div>Any help will be appreciated.</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks!</div> <div>Matthew</div><p>
