I tune a lot of these pianos. Haven't had a string breakage problem, but I think the pianists are mostly beginners or a bit beyond.

If you give me the lengths and wire dimensions I can figure it out for you. Not that it would necessarily help you solve the problem.

They were in the top 3 octaves. Client said they all broke while she was playing the piano. She is a fairly good classical player (I know, I know, what is she doing with that model Yamaha - she bought it before she hired me...) Anyone aware of a history of string breakage with that model Yamahas? Israel Stein -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
