Breaking a String

[AAA Piano Works, LLC]

Using a micrometer, get the diameter measurement of the core wire, then the
diameter  measurement of the string including the copper winding, then using
a ruler.get the length of the wrapping from where is starts along the length
of the string to where it ends.then the distance from the hitch pin loop to
where the wrapping starts.

 

Take these 4 measurements and call Schaff and order a new string.  J

Because when I put the new string on, I want to leave it.

Why not just remove it, while you practice?

Then reinstall it. That way it will restabilize much quicker.

I will be practicing string replacement on my Yamaha U-1.  But first, I need
a string to replace.

 

What is the proper procedure for breaking a string?  I think this was posted
on the list not too long ago, but I can't find it.

 

Thanks!
Matthew
