In a pinch I've folded a section of newspaper over the doubled wire, and
slid it along between the bass and treble strings, which keeps the new
wire from slipping through them. <br>

I once turned a hook on the broken end of the old string, and hooked it
through the hitch pin bend of the new string, then pulled the old string
out from the bottom. It did get the new string down to where it needed to
be, but the hook tended to get caught here and there. </html>
