Single Strings and Bearing

[Joseph Garrett]

Ah so! Now I see the situation. The coil of the "German Loop" is raising
that one string off of the plate to create a negative bearing, just on that
one note.
If the rest of the piano is ok, down-bearing wise, then I wouldn't worry
about the single tied string, unless it is radically off. You can "bend" the
wire down towards the plate a bit, to gain some DB. It will retain that
bend, when under tension.
Hope this helps.
