[CAUT] Agraffes and dampers

Greetings, 
       My idea is that there is a combination of heavy play, and less that 
optimum wire.   Restring with Mapes Gold and see if that brand is more durable 
than the original.  We see a lot of broken strings in the C2 Yamahas, but 
rarely have i seen one of my replacements break.  I may be simply restringing all 
these pianos, one note at a time...
