I've watching all of the "recommendations" regarding this situation.=20 What hasn't been said is: 1. Is the "new accompanist" a "pounder" that = is causing the bass strings to break? 2. If the piano was "rescaled & = restrung", getting Mapes, (NOT my choice!), to duplicate from their = records, (olde scale), is definately NOT the way to go, IMHO!=20 You need to find out why the strings are breaking. When ordering a = replacement string, you need to have the existing string duplicated by a = string maker that can follow the specific dimensions given, w/o doing = something stupid.<G> If the piano was "rescaled", as you say, the likelyhood that it was an = improper scale, is nil, IMO. If the "new accompanist" is a pounder, then you need to take the "power" = away from him/her.<G> Also, good regulation will help in this case. Bad = regulation will exascerbate the situation.
