Avery, Harpsichord tone is best when the string is very close to breaking point. If you see a pattern of breakage (I always put a piano front rail paper punching at the base of the harpsichord tuning pin of a replaced string with the date of replacement penciled on it) you might want to get in touch with Martin about possibly changing the string size in that area. Good luck. John Chapman RPT Wake Forest University Winston-Salem NC
