style='font-size:12.0pt'>> IMHO...If I tap a string on a bridge (I tap in
front of the bridge pin in the speaking length) and it moves
down...how can it have not un-seated from the bridge?<br>
> <br>

<br>
Extremely heavy, seemingly infinitely repeated sigh - because <br>
the notch edge has been crushed by the bridge expanding with <br>
humidity increase, pushing the string up the pin against both <br>
the friction of side bearing, and pin slant. This has been <br>
gone over on list more times than I have fingers and toes to <br>
count, and way past my personal tolerance, in excruciating <br>
detail. If you don't get it by now, please, get the biggest <br>
hammer you can lift, and seat those strings as energetically <br>
as you possibly can. Use both hands. Drive them in really <br>
deep, and rest assured in the belief that you have rendered a <br>
miracle and corrected a situation that isn't demonstrably <br>
physically possible in the first place. You have my blessing.<br>
<br>
Over and out.<br>
