Left string false beat

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Ola,
          The left hand string does not have as much bridge material to
support the left hand bridge pin., due to the cut out of the lower note. A
light tap with a hammer shank and blunt instrument will set the pin and
help to clean up the falseness. Also check to that the string is seated to
the bridge.
Gentle is the by word, you don't want to be puttink a kink into the string
making matters worse.
Regards roger
