1. Select a string from the Replacement Set which matches most closely the overall diameter of the broken string. |
|
| 2. Place the loop end of the wire over the hitch pin and across the bass bridge. Line up replacement string with other strings in the piano. Measure 1/4" from point where winding ends on other strings toward the bass bridge. Cut through copper winding of new string at this point. |
 |
| 3. Stretch replacement string across the upper plate bearing or agraffe. Line up replacement string with windings of other strings. Measure 1/4" from winding line toward opposite (hitch pin) side to allow for stretch. Cut through copper winding of new string at this point. |
 |
| 4. Stretch replacement string up to the tuning pin. Allow enough length for 3 coils on tuning pin. Cut through winding and wire core to remove excess length of the replacement string. |
 |
| 5. Be sure to cut through copper winding wire with a circular motion in the same direction as the winding has been done. This will prevent windings from loosening their grip on core wire. |
 |
| 6. Remove replacement string and unwind copper winding at both ends up to the scored sections. Install as a custom-made string. |
