Gregor, Quite simply the disadvantage to "seating strings" is that when one presses too hard on the strings, one creates deeper and deeper string groves/indentations in the bridge surface. William R.

Is it available online? I can´t follow that discussion because I can´t see any disadvantages of seating strings. Obviously the critical point is not to make an indentation in the bridge that is below the string line? I can´t figure out how that could happen. I never noticed any bad consequences of string seating.
