One small question keeps occurring to me as I read this thread: If, as seems possible, hard blows are enough to cause the strings to ride up on the bridge pins, and stay there, is it a good idea to reseat them? Would it be better to consider who is going to play the piano next? What if the next performer is heavy handed, and will drive them right back up? Will a pianist's unseating them trash our unisons at the same time? When we do whole-hearted test blows, do we drive them back up ourselves? What happens to the bridge top and pins when we seat -- unseat -- seat, over and over? Carry on, list ... all cogitations gratefully accepted. Susan Kline skline@proaxis.com P.O.
