Friends, I wrote many moons ago that I am almost paranoid about breaking strings. I got over some of that. However, I have two clients with pianos that I've been servicing regularly over about ten years with relatively little problem. Then, all of a sudden, two single-wound strings tear during the same tuning! Call me a wimp, but I find it almost impossible to get myself to go back, even though I'm not causing the breakage. At least the one had overlapping coils. Clyde kam544@flash.net wrote: > Been there once.
