Welcome to the list!

The causes of this type of string breakage are metal fatigue (non-technical
terminology) caused by stress. File the hammers to the correct shape, replace
the strings in the effected sections, care for the hammers regularly, and the
strings will not break so much.

My experience with strings breaking (in any brand) is that excellent classical
pianists often break treble strings, and churches usually break bass strings.
The best way to minimize this in both cases is to service the hammers frequently
in order to maintain he shape.
