Less, We have a church here in our area that has had almost the same thing happen that you discribed. It was a C5 Yamaha and we were strangly surprised when strings began to brake almost weekly...Yamaha paid for the service calls and took care of the piano for about a year and then sent Brian DeTar out to check. He found nothing wrong. We heard the piano player play and we knew then the problem. Well the church asked HER not to play and we thought our problems were over...no, in a matter of weeks we got called out to another church for warranty work to find that she was starting to brutalize another unsuspecting congregation. LOL Her ministry will never end ...she said, even though we tried, in her words, to end it.

Would those be the same churches where you walk in three months after your last service call just to find that they've man- aged not only to break ANOTHER half-dozen bass strings (maybe a couple of the ones you replaced last time, too!) but that they've also managed to break the sustaining pedal, excuse me, the LOUD pedal, in half (!) AGAIN as well? :-) Les Smith lessmith@buffnet.net >>
