---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment List Certainly I think we can agree that strings near the plate struts go out of tune more than those in the center of their sections. And when it comes to the tenor break, I think I can understand why this would happen. The treble bridge ends there, often the stringing scale goes to copper-wound strings for the last couple of unisons and I imagine the tension of those strings differs from their steel neighbors. And right on the other side of the break, the strings are strung across in another direction; all of those things could probably contribute to instability, although I say this not out of knowledge of the situation, but just looking at it in a logical (but basically uninformed) way. But why does this also happen in the treble break? Often there's one continuous bridge. Steel strings on both sides. All strung parallel. And yet notes on either side of this break generally go out quicker and farther. Why should those strings be less stable?
