This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Mark, I had the opportunity to do exactly what you're referring to just a = month ago. This piano I was going to tune had string that broke at the pin which = was a mere inch from the agraffe. Hardly any room to move. I noticed = that the remaining length of core string was perhaps just long enough to = carry the splice knot behind the bridge if I reversed the string, and = the length of string beyond the bridge was more than long enough to = reach the tuning pin and go around it three times. This way I managed to = put the string back without making a knot in the speaking length (I also = hate that sound!!!) As far as I could tell, the string sounded just like = its neighbours. Now, if there is a good reason why this should not be done, I hav'nt = heard it yet. If anyone out there knows of one, please enlighten me. To Joe G. Know of a place I can visualize all these knots with the funny names? I = make my knots by folding both ends (U shaped), then I slightly upturn = the end of the U's, turn over one piece of string in relation to the = other and slide the two pieces into each other, whatever that's called. = I then trim the extra wire. Et voila! Peace, Jean-Jacques Granas Warsaw ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
