Re-stringing an Upright Pianola
By David Row

A number of piano strings have given away on my Wertheim pianola.
I called a number of our piano tuners in Singapore.  They _all_ say,
"Your piano very old.  Cannot do."  The do-it-yourself person is a
dying breed in my country.  I think I am one of the last of this kind,
and I am 79 years old.

If I could string them then I would need to call them only for the
tuning.  Can anybody out there tell me how to get around this problem?
