Restringing demonstration - the Trendon girl
Brigitte's second restring at the Sasha Celebration weekend was a Trendon girl who had become floppy. She was a lot more complicated to restring than the Gotz girl before her. It involved using another cord (the stripy one) to help pull the main double cord through her body. Apparently Brigitte has made a video of the whole process which will be on her website soon.

Brilliant DM, great shots and avid audience!
Hello from Spain: I really like. It is very interesting. Keep in touch.
.....and there was me always thinking that the Gotz Dolls were the hardest of the Sasha Dolls to re-string. Just goes to show what thought did!
Well done and thank you for this post. I, too, thought Gotz dolls were more difficult to string but had only heard that having never tried such a feat. It helps to see the stringing steps to understand that it is not as difficult as I had thought it was in my mind. :) xxx
Great set of photo's showing what needs to be done.
Thanks for sharing them.
