[pianotech] Spontaneous String Breakage

[Paul T Williams]

I don't rule out salt air, but in our basement organ room with a 
harpsichord, they will break strings by itself over the humid summer 
unless I lower the pitch down ( alot!) in the summer.  No salt air 
anywhere close to here in Nebrasky.

    Yes, spontaneous string breakage does happen though not that often. I 
wonder if salt air is a factor?   Perhaps its age and  environment  have 
taken their toll on this piano and you're now seeing the result.  There 
may 
be more to replace as time goes on......
