Susan, Lance,
My biggest string breaker was also a Yamaha P202.  Similar Baptist Church
setting.

Yamaha told me to use the different scale bass strings as well, and sent
them to me.  Apparently, they keep records of frequency of string breakage
for each string for each model.  The service rep could tell me which bass
strings had the highest occurrence of breakage.
