A metallic sound from bridge pin/string?

[J Patrick Draine]

Dave,
With all the various suggestions about string seating and bridge pin
tapping & gluing, I'm surprised noone has brought up the possibility
of negative downbearing as a potential cause.
Good luck!
PS Is the customer complaining or is it just driving *you* over the edge?
