In this upright piano "Elegy", the bass string broke off (C) the second octave. The break happened on the top (becket) string pin. You could make a loop in the break area and place the string, but then the winding of the string would go beyond and lie on the bass bridge, which is not allowed. Therefore, a decision was made to turn a string over, that is, where there were rings on the top (becket) of the pin, to make a loop, and where there was a loop, to make rings (it turned out to be 1.5) and install it. Max demonstrates that this works. If you have a broken string, it's not a sentence. Try to come up with a solution and install it, even if it's upside-down.
