I'm certainly no authority and I'm probably just pondering. Try = holding one end of a rope while another person quickly moves the other = end up and down similarly to string vibration. Even standing on the = "bridge end" of the rope would require more down bearing power to keep = it from leaking beyond the point of termination and continued vibration = would undoubtedly wear the surface on either the rope/string or the = stopping point, whichever is the strongest material. Cementing the = bridge pin in place might be OK for the pin to wood relationship but I = feel it leaves me with fewer options to service this point such as = tapping the bridge pins. I like Roger J's solution that I picked up at a = seminar once....by gently sliding the thick side of the felt mute wedge = slowly up the speaking length to the bridge with slight down pressure = the seating can be accomplished without the tapping on the strings. I = usually do it as needed through the course of tuning. It also is a lot = quieter and is less alarming to the client as the tapping can be quite = noisy. My only question is how come it more in the treble section than = in other area's.=20 More than "two cents" worth but I had to comment.=20 David Chadwick ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
