<DIV>HI Barbara,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've worked on a 240 in recent times, but it is no more than 4-5 =
years
old. No string breakage as of yet. Lots of frontscale =
noise,
though. It's a fine line between softening it enough and killing =
it on
those pianos. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I tune many Seilers, and many have had a wide variety of small =
problems,
but never anything like you describe. I'd say try Seiler tech =
support,
but there really isn't any in the US at the moment that I know =
of. I've
been frustrated by this in working with customers with legitimate =
warranty
issues.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Keep us posted. If my 240 starts breaking strings, I'll let =
you
know...</DIV>
