<DIV><FONT size=2>In the five years of this Mason & Hamlin grand, =
all of the
50+ strings have broken in the area where they pass under the capo =
bar.
Not one string has broken in the mid treble range, and only a few in the =
bass
(which I can understand). All of the hammers were reshaped and =
voiced a
few months back, and a string has broken. Do you think the capo =
bar is too
sharp?</FONT></DIV>
