[pianotech] Customer complaint

[Dean May]

I've seen it on P22s and other Yamaha models, some Kawai. Higher tension
scales that are played hard end up with work hardened strings that loose
their elasticity after a few years. Then they start breaking. Time to
rescale and restring. That's Dean's analysis, FWIW.

The only Yamahas on which I've experienced frequent string breakage are the
old P202 studio uprights (found mostly in schools), and, of course, those
older pianos with heavily grooved or packed-down hammers that need either
filing, softening, or voicing, or all three.

List,
Thanks for all the great advice on how to handle my client.

I went back last week to pull up the new string, and the bass section was
also in need of cleaning up. While in the process of doing that, the G-2
string broke.

The one next to the other broken string. I could not believe it!

Didn't I read something about Yamaha bass strings breaking on this list not
too long ago?
