Happens quite frequently. I've even seen cases where the addition of CA on a non false beating string has resulted in the thing getting a false beat. Those of you all into this screwdriver test... try putting pressure beyond the point where the beat slows down and stops. Then start looking for explanations as to why the false beat will start up again and get faster the more you increase pressure. Its all very interesting I'm sure... still doesn't change the basic fact that CA is quite effective in treating the classic false beat.... which in the end is the only thing of practical importance for most of us. Cheers RicB Has anyone come across a false beat where touching the bridge pin with a screwdriver works as a detection tool where treating the pin with CA glue has failed to cure the falseness?
