Maximum tension

[Newton Hunt]

Hi Paul,

About the Everett, I think not.  In the bichord section of the bass
the tension is running about 40% breaking tension.  More likely is
excessive string deflection from the agraffe bar or a bur on the
bar.

If the is a problem in the lower middle section it could be
excessive pressure down pressure where friction exceeds breaking
%.  It is that friction that keeps us in the 65% breaking range in
the high treble and low bass.

Check this piano out and compare it to another similar model.
