"Was String Breakage...Now, Remedy!"

[Jim Coleman, Sr.]

Hi Dale:

Your remedy is rather unique. I have had many situations similar, but always
felt sorry for the poor piano and usually poor church.

In one case, I suggested getting a strong monitor for the pianist and a good
mic located near the soundboard. The monitor speaker should be turned up
fairly high so that the pianist can hear him/herself amidst all the other
spiritual and non-spiritual vibes.
