David, I was at the keyboard, checking the killer octave, after tightening the turnbuckle no more than instructed. Suddenly there was this not too loud splitting sound. I knew right away where it came from and believe me it was an unpleasant feeling. Be careful and go very slowly with the tightening. Perhaps I took it too far too soon but I'm guessing the belly rail would have failed regardless.
