Hmmmm .... tune the piano 50 cents flat, drench the hammers with fabric =
softener and set let-off to an inch and a half. No more broken strings. =
In fact, you'll never hear from this customer again!

      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
