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 clue? With this age is there a change that the piano has been restrung in = the past? If so it is possible that the technician that did the work = might have changed the scaling to something with higher string tension. = This could explain a lot.=20 Rob Goodale, RPT=20 Las Vegas, NV=20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
