Why does the piano wire break when playing the piano after a piano is tuned?
Rusty wires, bends in wires, and metal fatigue can cause a piano wire to break or not be tunable and wire needing to be replaced. Bass wires can be replaced with matching bass wires from a universal set of wires. Also, the original can be mailed to the string maker for a custom made string replacement made to the original specifications of the bass wire. If the piano player breaks bass strings frequently from heavy handed playing, then the piano manufacturer should be contacted to see if a replacement set of strings is available and possibly increasing the core thickness of the bass wires while maintaining the same thickness of bass wire with a decrease in copper winding thickness around the core wire. New wires stretch so more frequent tuning will be needed and more repeat tuning will be necessary for additional tuning cost to raise the piano to pitch and stabilize the piano tuning in either the bass or steel wire sections of the piano such as the tenor (middle octaves of the piano) a
