<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2> More info on the broken becket
I experienced last week. Mine broke at the mid-point of the 90 degree
bend. When I cut the remaining bend off to get back into straight wire,
the wire "crunched" when cut rather than the usual resistance as if it had
crystallized. Another 1/4" down the wire it was normal. Making a new
becket bend and reinstalling the wire worked fine. </FONT></DIV>

years and 4,000 pianos I have never encountered this.</FONT></DIV>
