<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>String breakage is a rather frequent =
occurrence
in a baby grand piano that I service for a church. I have =
replaced
several strings in the treble section of the fairly new piano in =
the last
few months. The pianist admits to playing the instrument too =
hard and
that the strings break while he is playing.</FONT></DIV>
