I'd check for other factors that are causing the breakage. By the way, what is the pitch, speaking length, and wire gage of the offending string? Stephen Stephen This is the high A (16 5/8") & A# (16 1/4") of this particular Autoharp. I've trying to use .020, and then went to .018. But both broke. I'll try .016. If the strings were breaking at the same place, I would think that would be the cause. But some are breaking at the v-bar, some at the pin, some at the winding.
