Re: breaking LH sliver key spring

Those particular springs have to be very short, which results in relatively high deflections which increases the stresses of the spring.
As Chris notes a gentle curve with no sharp bends is important.
Your tech may also have been given a bad batch of springs.
Finally make sure that the venting, whilst adequate for tone and pitch, is not excessive to ensure minimum deflection possible.
