(Resulting in 8 broken strings a week for him, and he´s not a harsh player.) Remember if you´re dealing with English low carbon strings you can raise the piano higher than with the American one´s. Ain´t that right guys... uhh persons ? :) And monsieur Ruth, am I right to assume that A338 is a typo ? :Þ Regards, Kristinn Leifsson, Reykjavík, Iceland P.S.
