Certainly! It's because tapping them down only very slightly makes them so disproportionately tighter. If it doesn't, then driving them down on the plate won't either. QED. As to why driving a pin such a small amount (in a viable block) makes them so much tighter, I haven't a clue. But I don't think those coils got on the plate all at once. I suspect it's a continual tapping with each tuning over time, like the relentless bridge top string seaters, that, in spite of the fact that it continues not to work longer then the tuning takes (time after time after time) through the years, continue to apply the only remediation they believe they believe. You know. If you keep pushing the button every couple of seconds, the elevator will eventually come, and might even hurry. > Save your breathing apparatus for more important things, like getting > oxygen into the blood....
