Wurlitzer bass string breakage

[Ray Hopland]

Alan;

        I had a piano that had a bass string string would continually break
at the upper bass plate pin. I tried larger and smaller sizes, universal
strings and custom made strings to no avail.  Finally after about the fifth
or sixth attempt, I bent the upper plate pin to the right slightly to
decrease the angle, and after 15 or so years, the string is still holding.

        Hope this helps.


Ray.
