         Well you'd think but not always so.
 He admits to playing it vigorously. I had a guy at a local church ,Big guy 
big hands,who played vigorously  that consistently broke  strings, mostly 
bass, This was a Baldwin L size but the older model. It had Issac strings and 
 hammers. He had to start paying for the damage. which didn't stop him so 
they actually banned him. 
       Acoustic pianos can be played beyond there intened parameters which is 
then abuse and may not have anything to do with the parts ot design. Hey some 
people are just stong.
   Years ago the rag time piano player at Disney Land told me that he had so 
many butts flying out of his yamaha upright that Yamaha took the piano back a
nd stated the piano was being played beyond its intended purpose. Seems the 
industrial strength vigorous playing and time per day caused the butt plates 
and screws to work loose. I hope I never see my butt flying thru the air!! 
True story honest. Ask Mark Wisner.
