Mary: Strings break at the capo bar because of wire fatigue. When a piano here starts breaking a lot of strings, I replace all the strings in the top two sections, and that will stop it for 2 or 3 years. It is just the continual pounding that bends the wire past the elastic limit too many times. I have to do that a lot here. dave _______________________________________________ David M.
