Just starting out on a clean looking Baldwin Howard and POW, POW, two bass strings in the double string area snapped. Froze in my tracks like that deer thing. Customer was right there too. Said, "In all my days this was freaky and shouldn't be happening." (At this time _Twilight Zone_ started to play in my head.) We traded a few words about what direction to go, and decided to continue on with A440 as the target and see what else happens. No more broke of all things. Took care of the two that did and went on my way. > It's just not safe anywhere out there!... Lions and tigers and bears, oh my.
