Max was invited again so that he could reinstall the broken strings (double string H3-C4). A string broken near tuning pin. It's string double, that is, on iron plate hitch has string divided and it goes upwards to be fixed on two tuning pins. Max did not wanted set new strings. He did wanted kept "native" to keep according sound it's piano.
How he did it:
1 He twisted out the pins of double broken string from a pinblock (3-5) turnes
