"not too bad, considering" Wow. Those pianos are getting some play! That's
certainly one of the differences between a conservatory and your basic
university where I reside.

My predecessor here had the back of a bookshelf as his bass string storage
area. Just a couple rows of nails with strings hung. Once upon a time there
was order, though never spiffy. Now just a tangled, springy chaos. I don't
look back there. Too scary.

  I just checked…we’ve replaced 16 bass strings since school started at the
end of Sept… not too bad, considering. Most of this breakage is in the piano
major rooms where the pianos do get pounded on. Obviously I don’t place an
order with Mapes every week, though I check.

  This is interesting. I've been here at UA for almost 2 years, and I have
had two bass strings break. Either you guys have harder players, or I'm
extremely lucky. How many bass strings to some of you replace per week/year?
