Sorry I missed this threadA ( no pun intended)A Would you explain how
you splice wound strings? I have some expensive copper wound Savarez
strings for my basses on my liuto attiorbato, and the wire typically
gets broken just before the nut when I tune....hence giving me a rather
dead sounding string.... Wonder if I could at least splice it to give
it extra life...

The MSDS for super glue and the Wikipedia article both
warn against using super glue with cotton. A So, when splicing
strings,
using the technique discussed earlier, it might be better to use
100% polyester
thread instead of cotton thread.
I have had good success splicing metal overspun strings this way,
but it
takes a bit of technique to get the thread wound and tied.
