Interesting that you were able to measure so "accurately" on average. The typical breakage of plain wire is in the range of 300 cents above it's scaled pitch, or a minor third. You just proved it to yourself. We've done some research projects here at the school with a beautiful jig built by one of our students to prove that point as well. <br>

Chances are strings will not break. One time when stripping down a 100+ yo
Everett grand I experimented with the strings to see how high I could pull
the strings before breaking. Most broke when pulled 200 - 300 cents
