Grin... point taken William. I just thought since everyone else throws numbers around to justify things... I'd throw a few around too. But... in answer to your question... I dont see a wobbly pin changing the speaking length of the wire significantly enough to do the job... let alone thinking of the rate of wobble needed to keep up with the string.... nope. The more I look at this the more it looks impossible. Gots to be a different explanation. Cheers RicB Cheers RicB To quote Ric Brekne: "I think that we need to put the numbers and physics, such as they are, on the back burner and do some hardcore practical process of elimination testing. Nothing like real life observation of as many conditions as we can think of to help shed light on a subject." and, "Not being able to imagine or explain how a thing can occur has no bearing whatsoever on the occurrence itself. If one can observe the phenomena, then it occurs despite any lack of an explanation as to why or how." So, maybe a wobbly pin can cause false beating, eh Ric? Regards, William R. Monroe
