Good. I get real nervous when some bit of knowledge is going to tell 
me something useful. So I keep a close watch when it even looks like 
it's thinking about telling me something useful. (Now was that really 
a useful observation?)

I'd guess that the extra pressure exerted on the side of the bridge 
pin is not significant. So Alan, when you're explaining these sounds 
to the lady of the house, is this what you call then, or do you use 
the conventional "false beats"?
