I've got a client who's son is breaking bass strings (2) so far. What  
s causing them to break at the hitch pin rather than the tuning pin?

The only thing I know of that causes strings to break at the hitch pin is rust. Have you seen the piano and the strings? Or is the customer telling you where they are breaking?  Maybe he thinks they are breaking at the hitch pin, when they are breaking at the agraff or V bar. Of course if they are breaking there, then the son is just playing to hard, and keeping the pedal on all the time.
