If the strings are seated and the bridge pins are secure. Then =
lift the
strings on both sides of the capo. After lifting then make sure =
the
hammer fitting is still good.<BR>If it is an isolated note. Check the =
hammer
flange centre pin. Trust me there is more weak trebles out =
there,
caused by poor pinning, than we would care to count.<BR>Regards
