My thoughts are that the Pitchlock device seems to indicate that the present idea that loose tuning pins being responsible for false beats is in error... at least to a significant degree. I also think that these illustrate that falsness can possibly be more related to string coupling then anything else, and a significant refinement of coupling hasnt really been a primary design mission for I dont know how long. Nice devices per se... but the problem they address is perhaps better delt with in other ways. Cheers RicB Subject: Pitchlock Has anyone had experience with the pitchlock devices. It sounds like something that would help with some wild bass strings, and maybe even some false beating treble strings. However the startup cost is pretty hefty. Not bad if it does what it says, but I thought I might inquire from the list first. Any thoughts?? Ed Carwithen John Day, OR
