Chris This a pretty uncommon occurrance. Kind of like plane wrecks..Ok maybe more frequent but you get the idea something unrelated (such delivery time issues, etc.). In any case, even if the problem was inherent in the plate from the time of manufacture, I am aware that no brand of piano is immune to such problems. It is just a sad fact of life when dealing with cast iron. I would ask the Fandrich folks what the string scale tension is in this area. It can be a factor. Good folks. Dale But when it happens to one's only piano -- one that the owner can't afford to replace -- suddenly harpsichords, fortepianos and other keyboard instruments that don't go "Bang!" in the middle of night start to look a lot more appealing!
