[CAUT] Harpsichord popping strings

H Cauters,

One of our harpsichords pops strings all by itself!  I have to replace 
strings all the time and it's rarely played. I used to think it was 
excessive humidity in this sub-basement room, but now again, 3 more 
strings have popped in the last week or so and the humidity is very low. 
Our other two harpsichords almost never break strings and also hold their 
tune much better than this one, and played about equally.

What's going on with it?  Any ideas?

Thanks
Paul
