The Stringer or a curtain rod?

Made mine from brake line, as described, but used two pieces
side-by-side (weld, solder, or epoxy). It's easier to fish the two ends
of the folded string through, this way, and they stay completely
separated until you pull the gadget out of the piano.

    Hi Mickey:
    I have a stringer from Pianotek, and it works great on both
verticals and grands!  But after seeing how it is made, you can make one
up for a fraction of the price.  Go to your local auto supply store and
buy a 3 ft section of 1/4" steel brake line, the straight kind, not the
curved tubing.  Cut off one end and discard the threaded nuts that come
with it.  Solder that end shut and drill two small holes through the
solder at 9 and 3 o'clock.  The holes should be large enough to accept
the largest plain wire size you may encounter.  VOILA!  You're done.
True it won't extend as the P-Tek, but you'll seldom need that feature.
Total expenditure: $5 and 1/2 hour of time.
