It's very easy to make a jig out of a 2x4, a couple tuning pins, and some finishing nails to terminate the speaking length and for the "hitch pin." The test, I believe, is on such a jig anyhow, and just as importantly, you don't have to worry about getting your replaced and/or tied strings stable again. If you want practice replacing real strings, just look up a couple of your rusty old uprights!
