I do believe the root cause is that some P22 scales had VERY high tension. I think in the past (during the piano's warranty period) Yamaha would provide lower tension scaled bass string sets (and perhaps the specs to send to your string maker, post-warranty). <div>

For a piano that's in a concert venue? Well I'd make sure the bill for the new string would include every minute of time it may require (followup touchups etc.).</div>
