<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Barbara asked: "<FONT face="Times New =
Roman"
size=3>Here's the question: Are these pianos prone to string
breakage? Is =<BR>there something about the scale? The =
piano is
played a lot, and I =<BR>*could* be mistaken, but I don't think the =
problem is
player abuse"</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Barbara,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is a common problem(s).<G> =
In this
situation you should have evaluated the scale, or at least the affected =
areas,
to find out if there was/is, in fact, a scaling problem. Since the =
advent of
'puters this is a fairly simple process: Get a scaling program.
Get appropriate measuring measuring devices and have at it. Because =
you can
carry a computer to the clients home, it makes all the sense in the =
world to
pinpoint the problem at the time of breakage, etc. I'll be teaching a =
class on
this very subject, in K.C., (Scale Evaluation, In The =
Home). Hope
to see you there.</FONT></DIV>
