I know most people wont care but my piano tuner just left and tuned my piano!
It sounds soooooo much better and sharper.
Just thought I would share.

I just got my piano tuned last Wednesday! I broke the lowest G string and one of the E-flat strings! This hasn't happened for over a year, but he said it wasn't my fault! I am very thankful that my piano got fixed! mp3s

How did you break it? Were you pounding away at it and it just snapped ?

My teacher breaks strings, too, but I don't know how often. I played Rachmaninoff's "W.R.'s Polka" and the E-flat string broke! Then, I played Chopin's Etude no. 10, op. 25, and the G string broke! I wasn't really pounding, but I was playing it the way it was supposed to be played! I am still going to try to take it easy!

My tuner just came last week also. After he was finished tuning, he had time to voice a few of the notes that were too bright. Now those notes sound wonderful. It's the rest of them that bug me now. :rolleyes:

I have heard Bass strings sometimes break by playing the note repetively with the sustain pedal down. I creats some kind of vibration that amplifies to the breaking point. Sort of like that bridge that fell back in the forties because of ites structure. Breezes caused it to flop like a resonating string. Pentacostal churches seem to have this problem with their pianos.
