Broken treble strut on antique grand. I was tuning an antique grand at an antique store several years ago when I noticed the top treble strut had opened up about 3/4 of an inch in back of the capo bar about an inch. It was an Austrian grand but I don't remember the brand now. As soon as I saw it I immediately began letting the tension down before it could have exploded. As I did the crack closed back up. I had to inform the owner of the store that the piano was untuneable and that it was dangerous as is. I did not charge her anything.
