Capo shape question

Hello,

Do some of you noticed a lot of string breaking on a Steinway B or
other make with strings changed a few years ago, but capo badly shaped
almost flat, no V shape or even reverse U shape, more a large more or
less round surface.

The pianist play too hard anyway , and someone heavily lacquered the
hammer, so there are other reasons possible.

The rendering is not that bad, but not as smooth as it may be anyway.

Not too much capo noise but the sound is a bit constrained and lack
length.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Isaac OLEG
