Strings usually break because of a malfunction in the action. <br>
A badly regulated action causes a pianist to use excessive energy, and a
flattened and <u>hardened</u> hammer makes it worse. </blockquote><br>
Then why would a brand new piano have a string break? Almost all of my
string breakage<br>
at the university is at the capo bar. That, to me, means heavy use type
of breakage. <br>
Right? <br><br>

It is just a matter of misdirected energy and molested matter. <br>
You give me that treatment... and I will break too. <br><br>
