String Splice Time

I'll argue that one. On older and/or junkie pianos (and especially when the
broken string does not exist) where the bass strings still have some life to
them, I find universals to often work just fine. The tone typically varies a
bit (well, maybe a lot!) from note to note on these pianos anyway, so why
not do it cheaply and get that string on there on the one visit so they can
go at it and break some more!
