[CAUT] False beats Steinway B

[Jim Busby]

Ron,

That's what was a bit weird; it actually made the beats stronger and more pronounced. Keith said "wow, that's a loud beat!"

I'll do what you said.

I'm amazed pushing on the side of the pin didn't make it stop.
That's classic flagpoling pin effect! The next thing I'd do is
lower tension and slide strings over, dress the V bar down in
that spot, and pull it back up. If that doesn't get it, I'd
change strings as a last resort. If *that* doesn't get it, I'd
go back and have another look at the bridge pin.
