Hi Mike.

Did you think measuring the actual bass string length and comparing this =
special piano with others of same type ?
I could imagine a bass bridge a bit displaced, obliging to set more =
tension on the bass strings than forseen in the desing, and causing =
those recurrent breaks.

      Esteemed Colleagues:
      A local dealer has asked this question:  He has a customer with a =
1986 Yamaha U1 studio piano.  Ever since the piano was new, bichord bass =
strings have been breaking on a regular basis, now about every sixth =
time it's played.  This problem was addressed under warranty by =
replacing all the bass strings, but it still occurs, even today.  The =
player admits to being very vigorous.  The strings break between the pin =
and pressure bar, leaving a 1 inch
  stub.  Hammers?  Regulation?  Strings?  Any thoughts?  Thanks.....
      Mike Kurta
