Hello friends, I tried my hand at replacing a treble string last night. The first time through it did not look the greatest (2 coils on 1 pin and 3.5 on the other). So I loosened it up and tried it again with fresh wire. The second time it turned out quite well and I was impressed with myself. However, I also have a single bass string to splice. The string was broke at the pin while tuning. Since I am not going to replace the string due to it's age (this is my own personal piano by the way, an old Hackley upright), I now want to try my hand at splicing wire. I have read and re-read Reblitz on this, Randy Potters wisdom and have read a thread or two on this site. But I seek more input here... Anyone care to offer any suggestions? (ie, how to wind the wire to prevent kinks, the best tool for that, etc.) You have helped me so much in the past!!! Thanks in advance Mark
