Paul, A couple of comments. Make sure the notching for the adjacent note (and the offending note, for that matter) is not touching the offending string(s) on the speaking length. How about side bearing on the offending strings? Is there enough? Have you tried gently knocking them over a little? This may be the reason the original installation had some bent pins. You've probably thought of these things, but thought I'd mention them, just in case. >In general, the tone is significantly improved.
