James: (all others may ignore this) I tried to respond to your private post about string splicing, but my email was returned as undeliverable, although I copied the address exactly. Basically, I repeated what I said in the original post, that I am not all that good at splicing strings, so I can't be all that helpful. My first suggestion to to buy, beg or borrow the PTG Exams Sourcebook (Technical) which had 15-20 pages on the subject. My second suggestion is to cut shorter lengths of piano wire from a spool and practice, practice, practice. Clyde Hollinger
