Having had to install new strings from both directions, the easiest = thing is to put a curve in the end you are inserting . . picture the = string following the curve of a golfball to get the right radius . . = and then give it a go. Inserting from the hitch pin direction, toward the tuning pins, the hole = is easy to find, though you will probably ( definitely) need a pair of = needlenose pliers to 'fish' for the free end and draw it through. Good to hear that our Heintzmans are to be found in Fla . . is your = customer a 'snowbird', a canadian winter resident?? ----------------------------------------------------- Jim Kinnear www.pianoguy.com ----- Original Message -----=20 From: pryan2=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2000 6:47 PM Subject: Help for a Heinzman grand I was tuning a older Heinzmann grand when a string popped in the = treble (notice that I didn't say I broke the string). The piano is = equipped with a agraffe bridge in the treble. There is no regular = agraffe, but the bar has tiny holes through it. I cannot find the = opening on the back side of the bar to thread the new string through. = One cannot see the holes from the top of the piano. Must I pull the = action and thread it through from underneath or is there a simpler = solution. I hope not, as it's a rickety old piano and pulling the = action would be a chore. Maybe some of our Canadian friends can help as the piano is labeled, = "The Steinway of Canada." Thanks for any help.
