String breakage with Pure Sound

[Richard Brekne]

Hi folks

I have one piano in use that utilizes pure sound wire exclusively. And I 
am experiencing quite a bit of string breakage where I nearly never 
experience it with usual wire.  Its always at the tuning pin or at the 
loop.  Never at the front termination.

I used double german loops for the treble, and copied the original 
french loop for the bass.  In the bass the loops break... and in the 
higher treble I'm experiencing lots of breakage at the coil on the 
tuning pin... lowest coil just as it winds away from the pin it looks like.

Any good explanation for this ?  Tension for the scale puts things well 
below the safety margin for breaking %.

Cheers
