I don't rule out salt air, but in our basement organ room with a harpsichord, they will break strings by itself over the humid summer unless I lower the pitch down ( alot!) in the summer. No salt air anywhere close to here in Nebrasky.

I wonder if salt air is a factor? Perhaps its age and environment have taken their toll on this piano and you're now seeing the result. There may be more to replace as time goes on......
