A metallic sound from bridge pin/string?

[William Benjamin]

Dave,

 

Try tapping the string down at the hitch pin.  This may give the string more
down baring on the bridge.

Dave... I'm not familiar with that brand and model.. If it's a grand, maybe
there is a notch in the v-bar that needs to be sanded of filed smooth. I
hope this helps!

 Hi all,

 

I serviced a new Bohemia 185 yesterday.  There were many voicing and tuning
issues, most of which were taken care of with tuning, some lifting, sand
paper, a toothbrush (my new answer to a wire brish), and a small amount of
needling.

 

D#4, however, has a metallic after ring that I couldn't dispose of for any
length of time.  I was able to make it go away for brief periods by seating
the string at the front bridge pin (pushing down, not whacking!).  After
about ten hammer blows, the sound would return.  It seems that the string
wants to return to the position from whence it came, the spot of the
annoying noise.  I tried to lightly tap the pin with a dowel, but to no
avail.  

 

Might this be a situation where a tiny spot of CA might do the trick?

 

I'd be most grateful for any suggestions.
