Countless. I cant even think how many times I've changed strings on my Guitars/Basses/Mandolin over the years.

I must've broken a good few guitar strings as a kid, despite never really playing. Also, somehow, when I was about 12 and decided to attempt to learn guitar, I managed to break one or two strings on my dad's acoustic trying to tune it. Lord knows why I thought they needed tightening so much.

Probably not though. It's probably somewhere in the high teens/low twenties.

And I play a ********.

5 - 10 maybe? I try to change my strings every month though (depending on money, which usually means I can only do it every three ********' months gonk ). Yeah, new strings are sex for my calluses. Mmmm.

Hmm that's a hard one.
When i first started out I broke like eight strings in like three months. Then I learned how to tune correctly.
That was like more then six years ago. I've gone years and years without breaking a string. The last time I broke a string was about a year ago when my tuning got all messed up from the weather, and I just hit a string, tuned it till it was on key then tuned the next one using that as a reference. The original string was already one note high and then i moved it another note up. The next string just snapped when I tried that on it.
I've broken a few banjo strings due to how tiny the first string is and how awkwardly it's held in place. I had to kinda do a custom job on it lol.

No idea.
I take meticulously good care of my strings though, so they rarely break.

This is basically how my life as a musician has gone too. I used to tune way, way too tight, and would probably break a string once every couple of weeks. Then I learned how to tune properly and have only broken one in the past year or so.
