Maybe Terry could try this on the floor pianos and tell us :) And if Terry breaks an A1 string for us, I´ll break EJ´s middle C right before the concert if he calls me ;) Kristinn Leifsson, Reykjavík, Iceland At 17:16 21.5.2000 EDT, you wrote: >In a message dated 5/21/00 10:15:59 AM Central Daylight Time, >istuner@islandia.is writes: > ><< can anyone tell me how much one can pull up a top C string in a new piano > until it breaks? > >> > > >What do you mean by how much?
