Wurlitzer problem

[Newton Hunt]

John and List,

Metal fatigue is the cause for stings breaking at the tuning pin.

This is evidence that the pins have been turned excessively, up and
down, in the past or present.  

Metal fatigue is not reversible for our application.

There is no solution for this problem except splice the strings when
they break or resting the bass section entirely.

Tuning pin movements must be kept to the absolute minimum during
tuning.

If you are taking tension off the strings for bridge repair or other
reasons you can expect some of them to break at the tuning pin.

Strings break at two places (mostly): at the agraffe or capo bar
during playing or at the tuning pin during tuning.

Learn to splice.
