My tunings are solid as the proverbial rock and that has as long as I remember been my strongest asset tuningwise. Pounding simply is not neccessary. Nope.... never had a hammer snap on me. Rarely, a shank will snap. And thats always on an old piano that has rather brittleized parts. Yours is probably a fluke anyways tho. A strange place to snap.
