According to my client, the piano has never been restrung or any other =
"major" work done,and other tunres have been breaking strings. She =
assumes this is just part of the job of tuning.

    ListI tuned a Knabe Grand and broke a bicord string. This piano =
shows a history of string breakage at random across the scale(to date 6 =
places).The first tuning I did 6 months ago I broke a string just above =
the break. The piano has a very steep rise from the agraffs. Its at =
A440. I can't see any reason for the problem. Is this typical of Knabe =
grands of this vintage, or is it just this one. I have tuned 2 or 3 over =
the years, and one for a different client once a year for several years. =
Any clue?

  With this age is there a change that the piano has been restrung in =
the past?  If so it is possible that the technician that did the work =
might have changed the scaling to something with higher string tension.  =
This could explain a lot.=20
