No killer octave here

[Tony Caught]

Hi Del,

Understand what you are saying and I do agree but it may be possible that
because the strings are locked onto the bridge, that the strings vibrations
will be transferred to the soundboard over a greater area of bridge /
soundboard contact. By doing this it would not rectify the problem but it
may disguise it enough to not be so noticeable.

I know, not the right answer but it sure would stop a lot of false beats in
the upper treble.

Regards

Tony
