It happened to me today, This sound I will never forget. This was a very small piano, built in the 60's (Willis La Ronde) The lady stayed throughout most of the pitchraise (almost one semitone) telling me the stories of her childhood as child musician, very touching stories indeed that made the break so much more dramatic. I was done! 3 top notes left on this second pass. One string had broken earlier. We did not "really" cry. I sat on the floor for 10 minutes as she found positive angles to this happening. She will get a new, better piano.... we will not have to replace the broken string... some detachment must be in order... Allan Sutton www.pianotechniquemontreal.com
