This is a 90 year old 5' Fischer that was restrung only 6 or 7 years ago. It appears that no bridge work = was done, i.e. new pins, cap, ect. There is no corrosion anywhere else on = the wire. Ideas as to what would cause this? Bass strings are beginning to = break at the front bridge pin. I am not so concerned about this piano (too = late) as I am in learning what caused this for my own education.
