      To use your argument, if the bridge pin is reacting 
the upward force of the string at an angle and 'forcing' the string 
to vibrate in a different plane, then the conventional bridge pin 
would be causing the string to vibrate out of the vertical plane 
since some component of the reaction force would be horizontal, while 
in the Wapin system the front pin offers no horizontal component of 
force to resist the upward force of the string.  In fact, it doesn't 
seem to offer any force at all to resist the upward force of the 
string.  At a low bearing angle, I don't really see what's keeping 
the string on the bridge at the front termination with the Wapin 
system.

       Probably a good positive  downbearing angle.
