I have to disagree with <i>"never". </i>If you are on the wrong pin
due to inexperience or lack of attention, then you did break the string
and the customer should not pay to have it fixed. In my opinion of
course.<br>

Interesting. Several local techs, including one very conservatively
religious say, "Never say <i>I broke a string.</i> Say instead that <i>a
string broke." </i><br>

<p align="left">In regards to No. 3, I remember when I was 15 I
watched the piano tuner tune the piano in our church sanctuary. On one
note he was hitting, he had his hammer on a different pin, there was no
pitch change, and did indeed break the string, so that was his fault.
He left me the bill, and I noticed he still charged for the string
repair. I will never forget that!<br>
<br>
I guess in a way it is good to see how some people do things the wrong
way, so you know how not to do it!<br>
