I've used the Stringer and it works, only sometimes it won't fit quite 
where it's needed without bending it.

In a pinch I've folded a section of newspaper over the doubled wire, and 
slid it along between the bass and treble strings, which keeps the new wire 
from slipping through them.

I once turned a hook on the broken end of the old string, and hooked it 
through the hitch pin bend of the new string, then pulled the old string 
out from the bottom. It did get the new string down to where it needed to 
be, but the hook tended to get caught here and there.
