This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hey folks (at least the ones that are still home) I have a newer Baldwin 248 that is breaking strings. The piano is I = think 4 years old. The first thing I had to do was replace the low = treble wound strings. These are the first 6 strings on the long bridge. = They had the windings resting about a half inch above the "V" bar. I = can't believe this thing mad it out of the factory. Baldwin to their = credit replaced them, but the customer paid for the labor. None of = these 6 replacement strings has broke. Anyway, now this piano has a habit of breaking strings. They are = scattered around the piano, meaning different wire sizes have broke. = They all break at the hitch pin. And they all have broke with no = outside influence, meaning not during tuning or playing. In fact they = were remodeling and had the piano covered up for months with no one = playing. There is no rust anywhere. I have examined the wire at the = breaks, and nothing jumped out at me. I know this piano is rarely = played and she is not a beater.=20 The customer is concerned, and frankly I don't have an explanation for = her. Any thoughts?
