This piano shows a history of string breakage at random across the scale (to date 6 places). The first tuning I did 6 months ago I broke a string just above the break. The piano has a very steep rise from the agraffs. Its at A440. I can't see any reason for the problem. Is this typical of Knabe grands of this vintage, or is it just this one. I have tuned 2 or 3 over the years, and one for a different client once a year for several years. Any clues? Paul Chick Plainview MN >> What vintage? New, or 20 years or older? Willem
