Ed, Just got my computer back up and working again. My not that old glitchy drive glitched one time too many. This isn't "tapping" in the same way that people seat strings in the field. It's done differently, and is to deform the wire into tighter bends around the bearing points, making the string go in a more straight line between those bearing points. I do it, most rebuilders I know do too as part of the initial setup of new strings.
