"The piano was apparently rescaled and restrung about=3D
 20 years ago and it gave good service until the choir using it=3D
 got a new accompanist."

I've watching all of the "recommendations" regarding this situation.=20
What hasn't been said is: 1. Is the "new accompanist" a "pounder" that =
is causing the bass strings to break? 2. If the piano was "rescaled & =
restrung", getting Mapes, (NOT my choice!), to duplicate from their =
records, (olde scale), is definately NOT the way to go, IMHO!=20
You need to find out why the strings are breaking. When ordering a =
replacement string, you need to have the existing string duplicated by a =
string maker that can follow the specific dimensions given, w/o doing =
something stupid.<G>
If the piano was "rescaled", as you say, the likelyhood that it was an =
improper scale, is nil, IMO.
If the "new accompanist" is a pounder, then you need to take the "power" =
away from him/her.<G> Also, good regulation will help in this case. Bad =
regulation will exascerbate the situation.
