P22 string breakage

[John Voigt]

If you look at those two notes, you might find that the tuning pins are
positioned close to the v-bar because of a plate screw positioned there.
This, combined with a steep angle from the v-bar to the coil causes the
string to want to climb up the coil when tightened.  You can try to remove
the coil and back the pin out a few rounds, but risk reduced pin tightness
and increased flagpoling.

  On the string breakage note, yesterday I had A1 and A#1 break in a school
band room piano...Yamaha P22, 1993 vintage.

  Interesting...I have begun servicing the pianos at my local high school.
Included are two P22s.  Both had broken (and long since removed) A1 strings.
They had been gone for about 5 years :(
