" So far I have
managed to splice a piece of 0.018” yellow-brass to the broken end for two
strings and get them tuned up. No such splicing luck for the others."

Splice ?   I am intrigued ...  I never managed to splice (brass) strings.
The only solution was to simply twist the broken ends and solder the joint
- as in picture. works nicely as emergency repair.  Incidentally the
picture is from my home-made Hubert from the same (awsome) plan.
