Short answer. NO. He wants to play hard. Let him pay for his way of playing.

Hi all. I have a client who is a professional pianist. He apparently plays quite 
forcefully. He seems to break one or two treble strings per month on average, 
usually in the upper three octaves. He has a Boston grand, model GP 193. He says 
he has always had this problem, no matter what piano he plays. He is wondering 
if there is a specific brand of piano that would lessen this problem. Any 
suggestions?
