Maybe. The musical quality of the note will be no better than the wire. A bad V-bar shape, or a loose bridge pin MAY cause the note to have unwanted or missing partials, but not always. However, A bad piece of wire will not sound good, regardless of the rest of the system. <BR>
Or to say it otherways, I would rather have a good piece of wire on a poor notch than a poor piece of wire on a good one. <BR>
Hope that helps, some, <BR>
