Paul,
When there is breakage at the pin, I usually just re-use what's there, 
although I have spliced on a new piece. Usual breakage due to high use is at 
the capo, so it's necessary to pull around about 1 to 1-1/4" from the other 
side of the unison, putting the knot in the front duplex. I've done literally 
hundreds. It's very quick.
Bob
