[pianotech] Spontaneous String Breakage

[Steven Hopp]

Phil,

 

Is it possible he is trying to tune the piano or fix something he does not like when you are not around?  I have a piano professor who likes to "fix" certain notes between tunings.  They don't get better but he has not broken a string but just a thought?

 

Here's to a mystery,
