There is also the possibility that the false beats could be caused by  
the bridge depressions caused by the wire.  I've had a few unisons  
that would only get worse and worse with normal string seating  
techniques, and I've attributed it to creating too deep of a  
depression at the point where the string makes termination with both  
the bridge and bridge pin.

I think Susan's and Fred's comments about voicing might be more  
relevant than false beats.  I have a theory that different ears hear  
different frequencies more prominently, and what might not stand out  
to my ears might jump out to someone else's, and vice versa.

Also, what he's hearing from the keyboard will differ greatly from  
what the audience is hearing.  I think a lot of artist's don't  
realize just how much different it is.  By inserting the mutes, he  
may be doing his audience a great disservice.
