They will become rusty, or corroded, but even in that condition, the sound produced from them is no different from a new string. As I said before, what makes the sound different is small amounts of corrosion in eh aggraff, or by the V bar. Even though the piano is over 100 years old, there is no reason to replace the treble strings unless they're breaking because of being rusted or corroded. If the customer doesn't have the money to replace them all at once, then replacing them as they break will be a viable alternative.
