Dr. Jim, I was surprised at your statement about frequent tuning not causing string breakage. I have always believed that the combination of solid hammer blows and string rendering fatigued the wire beyond what heavy practicing did to the wire. Do you have a technique that gets stability without eventual breakage - am I missing something here? Bill Shull U of Redlands (yes, Jim, the same former Amer. Baptist school you visited with the glee club), La Sierra U Bdshull@aol.com
