I replaced a string in the upper bass of a Kawai grand with a new string
made by, I think, San Francisco Pianos (David Ilvedson might remember if
they used to do bass strings?). The string broke at the back of the
hitch pin as soon as I brought it up to pitch (both eyes are still in
good shape, thanks). I seem to remember Ernie saying, "it must have been
some bad core wire". I thought it was more likely bad loop making.

There is a paragraph in the Reblitz book about how to repair a bass
string if it breaks near the hitch pin so I expect it has happened to
others, too.
