Right you are. Typing a bit too fast. The low tensions generally associated with that area create that weird sound and poor transition to the much higher tension bass section. It sounds like someone upped the diameters from the original as indicated on the bridge. I'm not sure that is a benefit. At best it's trading one problem for another.

Larger wire raises inharmonicity and tension, but the break% stays the same. >Smoothing things over > will be a choice of less bad more than what is good.
