I personally would like to know more about the condition of the capo before venturing an answer. But in a general sense, a capo bar can certainly be the cause of undue string breakage and can do so under a variety of conditions. Can you find out from the "music house" you refer to if the bar was reshaped, and if so to what specifications and whether or not the bar was hardened ? > > > I'll appreciate any suggestions y'all. > > Bill Maxim, RPT > Columbia, SC > -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
