how to sell a broken string

[Geoff Sykes]

Ed --

I learned how to splice from Bruce Stevens a year or two ago at one of the
LA Chapter meetings. Best repair skill I have picked up yet, and I have yet
to complete one where I didn't feel a sense of pride and accomplishment when
it holds and comes up to pitch.

Geoff-

Deal with broken strings by becoming a virtuoso string splicer, and you will
be a hero. A well-done splice is an impressive demonstration of technical
ability. Splicing a broken string is almost always the best repair,
especially if it is a bass string. Check out the sections on string splicing
in the Technical Exam Source Book. Learn to do those fancy splices, and the
exam splice will be....a cinch!
