Can I just repair my broken string?

By Jeff Cooper, About.com

Question: Can I just repair my broken string?
Answer: You can repair a string as an emergency fix, but you should restring as soon as possible. The neighboring strings lose tension when one breaks, and restoring even tension across the string bed is difficult with one repaired string tied off separately.
