Or, if the string is flush to the bridge top (grooved) and contacting the 
pin, there will be a double termination with the bridge top first, then the 
pin, creating the same problem but from the other side. As the bridge 
deteriorates (grooves), the curved notch brings that termination forward, out 
of plane with the bridge pin and simultaneous contact.
