It's more of a gut feeling that I have arrived at. As to the bearing bar being too tight, I certain in some situations this could be a contributing factor. My comment was directed at the possibility of there being enough friction at all the bearing points and where the string makes contact with any felts, creating a cumulative effect, as to prevent the string from actually rendering (moving). So when you turn the tuning pin, it breaks at the coil. I have used Protek to help these type situations.
