---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Question about strings breaking. I have a string that keeps breaking when pulled up to pitch. Should I use a thicker string or a thinner string? Case in point. I have been asked by the music Ed faculty to replace the 2 broken strings next to each other on an autoharp. The string below the ones that are broken is .022. The string above the 2 broken ones is .018. I tried putting on a .022, a .020, and a .018, but they all break when pulled up to pitch. (I thought at first it's because I was using tolls. But I loop the string with my fingers, and use only my fingers to wrap the string around the pin). Should I try a thicker string that will withhold the tension, or a thinner string for a higher pitch? Wim ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
