As an RPT with 30 years experience, odds are they just didn’t know the other 2 strings were already broken and they finally heard the 3rd string break.
@@Gungi556 ChatGPT Rattling sounds in a piano can be caused by various issues. Here are some common reasons and possible solutions: 1. Loose Parts Loose screws or bolts: Check if any screws or bolts on the piano are loose, particularly around the action and the case. Loose action parts: Parts of the action mechanism, such as hammers, dampers, or whippens, might be loose. 2. Strings and Tuning Pins Loose strings: Sometimes, a string might be slightly loose, causing a rattling sound when struck. Loose tuning pins: The tuning pins might be loose, affecting the tension of the strings. 3. Soundboard Issues Cracked soundboard: A crack in the soundboard can cause vibrations that result in a rattling sound. Loose ribs or bridges: The ribs or bridges on the soundboard might be loose. 4. Action and Hammer Problems Worn or damaged hammers: Worn or damaged hammer felts can cause an uneven strike, leading to rattling sounds. Misaligned hammers: Hammers that are not aligned properly might strike the strings unevenly. 5. Foreign Objects Objects inside the piano: Small objects like paper clips, pencils, or other debris might have fallen inside the piano, causing rattling sounds when certain keys are pressed. 6. Pedals and Trapwork Loose pedal mechanism: The pedals or the connecting mechanism (trapwork) might be loose or misaligned. Pedal noise: Pedals themselves can sometimes cause noise if not properly adjusted. 7. Temperature and Humidity Changes Wood expansion or contraction: Changes in temperature and humidity can cause the wood components of the piano to expand or contract, leading to loose joints or parts. Troubleshooting Steps: Visual Inspection: Open the lid and visually inspect the interior of the piano for any obvious loose parts or foreign objects. Check Specific Keys: Identify which keys cause the rattling and inspect the associated hammers, dampers, and strings. Tighten Loose Screws: Use a screwdriver to gently tighten any loose screws or bolts. Professional Help: If you're unable to identify or fix the issue, consider contacting a professional piano technician. Addressing these issues can help eliminate the rattling sound and restore the piano's proper function.
I have had multiple bass strings break at once on my harp when someone opened the door to the sub zero weather outside. The rapid change in temperature was the culprit.
That has happened with my violin before. I made the mistake of opening its case when I just got inside from -23 C weather, forgetting to let it warm up a bit. Snapped my A string and got a cut on my hand 😢
@@Tomáš_Nithrania Can you express *why* it doesn't work that way? The strings are likely to splay outwards when breaking, hitting their neighbors. And they'll hit their neighbors with the same force that they were originally tensioned with
@@Spiker985Studios 1. The most common place for a string to break is in the upper part of the piano, above the action. There are multiple parts in the way of the string, so its impossible for it to just flail around. 2. Even if the string break in the middle, its impossible for it to flail very far with any amount of relevant power. 3. There are 2 near each other and one too far to be affected. 4. Multiple other technicians in this comment section said the same thing. People just don't notice sometimes breaking string. It can occur even when nobody is touching the piano.
@@Tomáš_Nithrania Thank you for the insight, I was under the impression that the strings ran unimpeded from the bottom of the piano towards the top. I'm unfamiliar with pianos, but you've helped me understand them a little better 🙂
@@Spiker985Studios it is possible for the string to break at the bottom, it can break anywhere. However, the sliding nature of such collision and the power needed to break the neighboring string makes it very unlikely. I'd be willing to believe it could happen and break that one string, but owner no knowing about the third one makes me believe they just don't pay too much attention to the piano.
16 year piano tech here, the player probably heard one of the strings break from where both of the bichords is gone. I’m suspecting the other two have been already broken for some time. Those strings are probably faulty from factory so I would expect more to break in the future 😁
As a piano tech, I really prefer to make the coils first on a dummy pin and transfer it over to the pin in the piano. It can be a little more of a pain, but has nice and clean beckets for tight coils and tuning stability.
I’m not a tuner, but I’ve played the piano for over 6 years. I find your videos super informative and appreciate getting to learn about various problems in pianos and just getting to see how it all works. Thanks and keep up all the good work! 👍
For guitar players, it's a necessary pain to take an extra set of strings to a gig, and I've had half of my strings break at once. Imagine having 88 spare strings, and half break. 😬
It's always great to see you in action! I broke two strings on one of my guitars not long ago. I decided to splurge and replace all twelve. It's not what I would call fun. I'm glad that I invested in a string winder. It made the job go a whole lot faster. I have absolutely no concept of what it would be like to replace a piano string other than what I've seen on your channel.
Splurge? Guitar strings are like super cheap lol. I bought a whole guitar repair kit for like 20$, the strings were only a couple bucks and I got two packs.
@@Kratos-eg7ezDepends on the quality. Remember that you get what you pay for. I'm used to buying violin strings, which could either be $20 for a whole set or hundreds for a good quality set that won't unwind on you.
It is a dying art. Very few technicians left. Mostly just tuners. It is a lifelong journey with never ending education. Few schools teach this craft. Best option is apprenticeship. Also, start now. Dont wait too late to start. Not discouragng you, just being real😎👍
I have never tuned a piano but I have replaced band saw blades on a bread slicer. At least on a bread slicer when one goes it often knocks out its neighbor. With the angle of the tuner off the soundboard, wouldn't shock me.
Three suggestions 1) coil the string on a dummy pin. It saves wear and tear on the pinblock 2) don’t let the becket come out the other side of the tuning pin. It’s sloppy and not recommended. 3) give it a twist in the direction of the string, or risk voiding the warranty of the new string. It can lead to buzzing later on
My husband's uncle (Uncle in law to me?) is a professional piano tuner/repairer hes also a Jack of many trades. I've been waiting until I can show him your videos, I'm sure he has plenty of tips and tricks. Love you videos!
Thats the same make and model as my papa's piano!! He passed away a few years back, and some movers broke one of the legs, but we still have it. Its one of the few remaining things of him we have left. He probably would have loved your channel. :]
When strings start breaking with no real reason why, all the strings need to be replaced. It is usually caused by metal fatigue and corrosion. It is possible that all three broke at once because the force of one breaking took out the others. Depends on how loud the bang was. I had a few strings spontaneous break on a baby grand piano in my house that hadn't been used in months. They broke in the middle of the night and scared the $*** out of me. A little while later, another one broke, so I losened all of strings and called a piano restorer to come restring the entire piano and service it. Was told that they will break in sequence because the force on them increases as the one next to them fails. I did the right thing by loosening them, because the breaking of strings can damage other parts.
Why are people "blaming" a kid for breaking the strings? She played the piano, she didn't open it up and cut them. Instuments are meant to be played, professional players will play keys VERY hard, strings are NOT meant to last forever. I've 100% picked up guitars and gave them a quick Wonderwall treatment and gotten cut by an old string or two. Like, it's just so odd to me the amount of people coming to comment ONLY that "that little girl MUST have been doing something she shouldn't have!!" Girl was playing the PIANO.
Three things. First, this makes changing strings on my guitar seem less of a pain Second, I didn't see an underwrap on the string. When I string my guitar, I make sure the first wrap goes under the string, so the next wraps going over the string will "lock" the string in place better. Prevents slipping and tuning issues. Is that not a problem with the tuning posts on a piano? Third,do you pull on and stretch the strings after tuning, then retune, stretch, retune....etc until the string no longer stretches? Settles in. If you don't stretch guitar strings when first installed they will go out of tune constantly until they stretch as far as they are going to.
The third broken string could've shifted two already broken strings into a position where they interfered with actual playing making it seem a lot worse..?
The other strings were probably already broken. You can see that the note to the left has two broken strings. Those notes have two strings, so one can break; there's still one string for the note, and the customer might not notice. But the third failed string was a single string on a note that already had a broken string. That's my guess.
Hello! I'm interested in learning how to tune/service pianos at least as a part time job, but I don't know much of what to do or if I really want to. I know someone who has a business as a piano serviceman, but is shadowing something that is normal for a field of work like this? I'm just wondering
I have a video about this on my channel called “how to become a profesional piano tuner” it’s super in depth. You should definitely check it out! Hope that helps :)
not a repair person but from a family of players. could be temp flux or over tighted, or they just didn't notice the other 2, and just happened to hear the 3d. although this feels like it was over tighted and just couldn't handle it anymore
There must be a gap in the video, where you ordered and waited for the new strings, made to pattern, yes? Or did you use Hexacore strings from stock, stripping the copper back?
I'm a guitar player, so I know the anxiety of tuning up a new string. I've been changing strings for like 7 years now and to this day I still get anxious when I change my strings lol
There are way too many non piano techs throwing around their opinions when they’ve never even looked inside a piano! People leave the opinions for the professional!
Strings break. Could heat and humidity changes cause the soundboard to heave/shrink and then to stress the strings? I used to encourage piano clients to place a piano on an inside wall away from direct sunlight and Heating A/C AIR VENTS. I see the sunlight on the piano...over time it will effect movement soundboard and finish of piano.
From a scientific standpoint it could be easy to imagine that once upon a time something was spilled on the piano which began to corrode those three+ strings. Once one snapped then its inertia or the vibrations could have easily snapped the other two if they were equally corroded. I dont even know how pianos work, but the top comment saying that the person just didn't even notice sounds strange to me. Maybe because they were flat/sharp keys that never got played? Idk
I've always wondered what's a piano that's really small it's small it's a rectangle shape and it only has like 30-35 keys Fun fact: this type of piano can play songs not like revolutionary songs like from artists but like kid songs anyways this piano can also speed up and slow down this is like the simplest piano ever what do you call that type of piano
Realmente raro por que, no se ve que haya óxido en las cuerdas ni como que un ratón se halla hecho sus necesidades en las cuerdas del piano...a lo mejor defectos en el núcleo de a cuerda...
On guitars, the strings strech when you install them. Does this happen to this massive piano strings too? Does that mean you have to come over again to correct it?
It was probably caused by a Doberman Pincher infestation. If this doesn't make sense to you look up the Jerky Boys and one of their older crank phone call routines. Like all their routines it was a recording of an actual crank phone call. In this case it was to a piano tuner. The caller described the problem to the technician. Their Doberman had fallen down into the back of the piano and was trapped their. I never really cared for the Jerky Boys, but my nephew did and he played this recording for me. I have to admit that it was hilarious. Check it out. I just looked it up. I was wrong. It was a Rottweiler.
As others have correctly said, it’s likely two were already broken and the third happened to be heard. I’m a piano tech with 9 years experience. Sometimes technicians will break strings and not tell clients if they don’t have time or don’t want to replace them. If I come to a piano with broken strings, I always immediately, before doing any tuning, show the client and ask if they are aware of it. If they want it replaced I will either order a custom bass/tenor replacement string, or, if I don’t have my stringing kit with me, make an appointment to replace at a later date. Learn from my mistakes - be careful carrying much wire with you around in the car if you don’t intend to either bring it in every night or at each stop. My state is very humid and wire corrodes quickly if left in that kind of environment. If I’m going to a tuning on a performance piano, or a very old piano, I will bring wire with me. Otherwise I make separate appointments to deal with broken strings. And as I’m sure you know - proceed with caution on pitch raising if that many strings have broken, it’s a sign they may be getting brittle and losing elasticity.🫣
Homie for us guitar guys we stretch the strings and then tune and then stretch and then tune again. I personally do it for my stuff 5 times for each string. Do y’all piano people do or don’t stretch the strings?
As an RPT with 30 years experience, odds are they just didn’t know the other 2 strings were already broken and they finally heard the 3rd string break.

@@toomanymarys7355and now I'm in this rabbit hole. I love this phrase.

Either:

2: It broke, and ended up whiplashing the other 2.
Frame expands a little if a string breaks. Even tho its out of iron.
And that might just add tension to all other strings especially the ones nearby

As others have correctly said, it’s likely two were already broken and the third happened to be heard. I’m a piano tech with 9 years experience. Sometimes technicians will break strings and not tell clients if they don’t have time or don’t want to replace them. If I come to a piano with broken strings, I always immediately, before doing any tuning, show the client and ask if they are aware of it.
If they want it replaced I will either order a custom bass/tenor replacement string, or, if I don’t have my stringing kit with me, make an appointment to replace at a later date.
Learn from my mistakes - be careful carrying much wire with you around in the car if you don’t intend to either bring it in every night or at each stop. My state is very humid and wire corrodes quickly if left in that kind of environment.
If I’m going to a tuning on a performance piano, or a very old piano, I will bring wire with me. Otherwise I make separate appointments to deal with broken strings.
And as I’m sure you know - proceed with caution on pitch raising if that many strings have broken, it’s a sign they may be getting brittle and losing elasticity.🫣
Id love to do this but I can't play piano...lol
Now, I'm no expert, but I think they broke
Homie for us guitar guys we stretch the strings and then tune and then stretch and then tune again. I personally do it for my stuff 5 times for each string. Do y’all piano people do or don’t stretch the strings?
I am not a tuner but it looks like the piano was already broken but was still playing or it just snapped at once
Hi
The reason why the string broke is because of tuning too much tuning will cause the strings tube break
They played Liszt. Once.
If movers broke the sounding board on my old upright (in our family almost 100 years) can it be saved?
I've done that on a guitar so many times, it's cool to see that it's a nearly identical process on the piano!
A piano is just a really complex guitar lol
Sanitation engineer here. I'm pretty sure the aliens broke the strings
Like the garbage truck driver who said "I don't know what happened" when the whole back of the truck and hydraulic rams are BUSTED.
