Hi Lance,
               The 'falsie' problem is ever with us, and depends on how
bad, I have yet to hear a completely clean piano.
You have checked all the right things.
Again, wire kink's. depends on how bad. A slow bend from string levelling,
seems to cause no problems. A slight false beat from a single string, could
be preferable to a real wow from phasing, caused by poorly levelled strings.
On the other hand obvious kink's from a screw driver at the bridge pins,
from some over zelous idiot is another story.
Have a great day.
Roger
The only other thing to check is the notch location on the bridge WRT to
the pin.
