---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment We had a music director/pianist for a theater where I do a lot of work. As soon as he arrived, strings were being broke on an average of 2 bass strings/per week. It got to the point that not only were the older strings breaking, but the new strings as well. The theater management was having a fit because new added costs associated with numerous string replacements. The piano was used not only for house productions, but for many of the touring acts as well, so depowering the piano wasn't a possibility. By the end of his first season almost all the bass strings in the major played keys had been spliced. Eventually we started hanging the broken strings on his office wall with corresponding dates and copies of the invoices for the work. Became comical after a while. The interesting development was we noticed that the root of his problem was his hearing. He was practically deaf and wasn't aware of it. His pounding was his way of turning up the volume to please his ears. His contract was not renewed for the following year.
