Hi Hazen. When you look in the archives, also be sure to look for =
methods using vice grips to bent the string around. From what I =
understand, this is the slickest way to go. I have been using the knot =
in Reblitz with good success also. I haven't figured out the vice grip =
method yet - largely because I don't seem to be able to search the =
archives - if you do find some good posts on this (maybe some from Ron =
N.) maybe you might pass them on to me!?!?!?!? Thanks and good luck.

Regarding prevention of string breakage in church pianos, I have heard =
that two things seem to work best. One is to provide for an earlier =
letoff - will tend to depower the hammer striking the strings. The other =
is to provide the pianist a 10,000 watt bank of speakers situated very =
close to the pianist and pointed straight at her/him - with volume =
turned up real high. This can help the pianist think that merely =
pounding the $%&# out of the keyboard is sufficient to be heard (by all, =
including the Goddesses!).
