Dear Phillip

An overwound string cannot take greater tension than the core wire itself. Assuming you have the tension within range, and your close wound section is sliding smoothly past the bridgepin, the clue to all your breakages occurring at the tuning pin could be your method of winding the wire around the pin!

Regards
