If it makes noise that you don't like, mute it off with braid or soft
felt that you can slide under.  You can always bean bag the waste area
while tuning.  Octave styles?  Whatever works.

Tuned a GH1 today, and noticed that the top two sections (capo) had no
felt between the front bearing bar and the tuning pins, allowing that
segment to vibrate.  There is a well about 1/4" deep cast in the plate
in this area, but this area is flat, not convex, like the other plate
segments that have string underlayment felt right up to the bearing bar.
 
Should it have string braid, or underlayment felt?  I can see no
previous sign of either...  and the treble unisons are hard to tune,
with that trashy noise...
 
Recommended octave styles are also welcomed... it was about a 26-note
bass, with no wound strings on the treble.
