<font size=3>Hi Chris,<br>
Try the following.<br>
1. Lift and level strings.<br>
2. Tap all bridge pins this will help to seat strings. ( If they are
loose use CA glue) Use a large blunt screw driver to press
down on the bridge pin to confirm if this is the problem.<br>
3. Phasing is a problem in this register, so reshape the hammers
and mate them to the strings. Also check the centre pins and travel the
hammer shanks. Some shank burn in may be required.<br>
<br>
If you do all the above it will improve the falseness problem.<br>
<br>
