<DIV><STRONG><EM> Hi Lance</EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM> I've seen this before on some Young Changs where
the rookie got carried away. SInce wire has a memory this is hard to undo
as well as some heavy string grooves embedded in the bridge top, If you succeed
in solving it please post.</EM></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A "new" RPT tech working for me got a little
excited about string voicing and in the process of "tapping" down strings on a
<STRONG><U>new</U></STRONG> piano, went too far. The strings were hit in
the speaking length segment, in the direction of termination with the bridge
pin V. In other words, straightening the speaking length segment before
it terminates at the bridge pin. Consequently, there is a visible "dent/kink"
in the wire in the speaking length just before the bridge termination,
creating more false beats than the ones that were to be
eliminated. <STRONG> Is there a cure short of restringing that
section? i.e., loosening string and straightening wire with hook as good
as possible and retightening? Thanks.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
