Pianotech Digest, Vol 1284, Issue 53

Hi Everyone,
Is lowering pitch fool proof in terms of keeping strings from breaking?  I tuned a piano not quite a month ago and two strings broke. They didn't want to pay to have them fixed, they are an organization on a tight budget and the piano has other major issues.  Now if I sense any resistance whether a tight pin or whatever, I automatically lower pitch.  Is this good, or am i being too careful?

ps. John Stroup, E-mail me. I 'm wondering how you guys in Indiana  are doing since I moved to Chicago I haven't heard much.
