Max was invited again so that he could reinstall the broken strings. There were 23 of it’s. They are double, that is, on iron plate hitch has string divided and it goes upwards to be fixed on two tuning pins. Max did not have any new strings. Those that he had were shorter than that broken. He could not have established it's. Then Max decided to make single strings for each pin.
How he did it:
1  He twisted out the pins of a broken string for 3-5 turns from out a pinblock.
2 He removed broken string from the hole of the pin.
3 He put "conditionally a new string" on the hitch doing a loop.
4  He made a loop. Holding a loop using  pliers (his right hand)  he wrap it's end use his fingers of  (left hand ) wound the 3-5 turns of the end of the string around the main
5 Did set the loop on the hitch after.
6 Inserted  passed free part of the string through the pressure bar to lift up it's end to tuning pin
7  He inserted end of a string into tuning pin (an add brought pin that neither of this piano)
8 He bent the free end of the string (  add  pin) to make coils. Stucked the end in the pin. Holding pin  of it's left hand, Max did 3-4 full turns clockwise him right hand  to make the coils from string. Used  small T-bar wrench
9 He took the string out of this pin
10 He put coils of string on "native" pin in the piano and inserted it's end in hole of tuning pin.
11 He distributed the string to the bridge pins
12 With his right hand, Max holds a sting of a screwdriver of the coils so that it's do not drive out from each other on the pin during it's screwing. Him left hand makes a smooth movement of the handle   T-bar clockwise.
13 He corrected the lower part (loop on the hitch) using a screwdriver to make it sit as tightly as possible on  iron plate. He slight press on a loop a sting of a screwdriver  around a hitch
14 Rotates the pin and brings it's to the desired tone.
Try  do it as me and it been done good
Good luck,
Yesterday I received a call from school  teacher woman, where upright piano "PETROF" . She explained that they are engaged in more than two weeks with kids and they   find the piano attractive for music classes. Three strings loose, pity it's. but Max shall fix.  Teachers other class are now collecting 15 US dollars for  to fix the "Scholze" piano. There are need to make tuning  temperation and replace the strings here. Where also broke two bass strings.
We will try to change the situation for the better as we can and helping their
