Phil, Maybe somebody else is playing the piano during the night.... I know of a string that broke on a church piano that nobody was playing--and it happened during a service!

He confided that he has never broken a string while playing. They always break at night and are there when he uses the piano the next day. It has not been my experience that strings break "in the night," but I haven't stayed up that many nights observing them. Was he jivin' me, or have others had this experience too?
