We have 15 Walter studios and I've never replaced a string on any of them - and I get to replace lots of strings on other pianos. There's always the possibility of a batch of bad wire but normally I'd say that string breaking is not a Walter characteristic. dp ____________________ David M.

Wondering if anyone else has found chronic string breakage problems in pianos of this vintage. There have been other strings replaced in this piano. I'm considering a complete restringing. Am I off base?
