Pat, I think a good hard test blow in a controlled environment is =
different, as it is done with a certain amount of restraint.  When many =
musicians get fired up during an actual performance, be it rock, =
classical or an organ recital, another component kicks in.   When I =
played guitar in a pop group (decades ago) I used to thrash the living =
daylights out of my Fender Strat when the adrenaline got going.  =
Musicians from all quarters are all guilty of it - including vocalists, =
violinists and drummers (especially drummers).   During rehearsals and =
recording sessions all is OK, but "on stage" when the lights go up - all =
hell can break loose and the vocal cords, vellums, bow hairs and strings =
start to take their toll.  Brian=20

    I have and have seen some pretty hard test blows or stablizing blows =
that it would seem were too hard for any one to be just playing the =
piano. do we break a lot of strings I haven't heard that to be so , I'm =
curious, so it must be with the sustain?
