Hi Phil Good question.. one of many. But again... observation will reveal that very often string after seating will stay seated for a good long time. Sometimes they wont. I have no doubt that a piano with negative bearing and reverse crown presents a different situation then one that has positive bearing and positve crown. And a piano with deep grooves in the bridge will be different then one with none. Along with some of the force factors involved being tossed around... and probably a lot of other unthought of details.. I have to assume the reason this happens is really a combination of many <<reasons>> and that many of these are variables from piano to piano. So... sometimes they climb up right away... sometimes it takes a while, and there is no single factor or pair of factors... or simple explaination as to why that applies universally.
