Get someone to rescale the bass telling them what you're trying to accomplish. While replacing the bass strings be sure all the terminations are good. dp David M. Porritt, RPT dporritt at smu.edu From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of James Johnson Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 9:01 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: String breaker I have a Kawai model 500 in a church which constantly has broken bass strings. All the breakage occurs from B2 up to the break. I am getting tired of ordering replacement strings and actually order them in multiple sets now so I have several replacements on hand. I have deregulated the action to reduce power (no, the pianist hasn't noticed) and that helped a bit, but broken strings are still an almost weekly occurance. Any suggestions? Would rescaling that part of the piano help? Thanks, Jim Johnson -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
