I asked the other day on this list what a false beat eliminator is. I 
understood that it´s a thing to hammer down (settle) the strings on the 
bridge again. If so, why should that not work? I use a flat bar of brass for 
it and it always works . Sometimes you can see how the string comes 1 mm 
down to the bridge. Are we talking about the same thing?
