I have a client with an old upright. Upon first inspection, I found that
there was one backcheck missing. I located it in the bottom of the piano
(along with things better left unspoken here) and it appears to me that the
backcheck is the screw in type. However, there is only a fraction of one
thread left on the wire, which means to me that the wire has somehow snapped
off the wippen and the rest is still imbedded therein. So... any great
suggestions on how I might best extract that little portion of backcheck
wire from the wippen before installing a new one?

Thanks
