<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">This scenario requires pulling
the string up to pitch and leave it. There is too much friction to
finesse the torque in the pin. Once you back down the tension, the
pitch drops dramatically.</font> So pull it up to pitch and leave
counter bearing bar to tuning pin string</div>
<div>segment at higher tension, it will hold the pitch better.
Speed tuning helps too.</div>
