<DIV><FONT size=3> Hi Ric</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> I have waited for this subject to come up a=
gain
because I believe there is a cause that I've not seen addressed & fits i=
nto
what your experience has born out. While I believe a tight solid =
pin,
proper down bearing & bridge angle are absolutely needed for good
string mechanics there are conditions where all the right conditions for pur=
e
strings exists but the wires are as false as Dollie Partons ........wigs. Gr=
in.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> I believe that a large part of =
string
falseness is caused or created in the stringing process in 2 ways. </FONT></=
DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> 1st, the string having a natural coil=
&
memory should be installed by allowing it to freely wrap around the hitch pi=
n in
the natural bend or or coiled condition in which it takes as it comes off th=
e
coil. Or so as its' not bent back against itself. I believe this keeps the w=
ire
from excessive twisting as it is pulled to pitch. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> Now if your not buying that one then =
here
is the no.2 reason is ,& I am absoultely convinced of
this. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> I believe over pulling the stri=
ng too
far above pitch in the stringing process deforms the string. Its' that=
simple.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> We once had a stringer who was very good but we h=
ad
many false beats. One day in conversation about this I asked if
there was anything she could be doing to create this & she said no. =
;
She said I always pull the strings a half step sharp of there intended final=
pitch as a I string just like you told me. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> I said ^%$##!#$&*(*_) Slight
communications flop. I had told her to pull the strings only up to pitch as =
she
went. SO after that the false beat issues were greatly reduced. =
Also
we swicthed to the Mapes Gold wire & I feel it produces even less falsen=
ess
than the Roslau wire.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> My 2 cents worth for what its' worth</FONT></DIV>

=2>Because
for an explanation or theory to have any meaning, it has to be <BR>consequ=
ent
in dealing with the phenonema it attempts to explain. There <BR>are too ma=
ny
cases where this particular theory doesnt hold up. You can <BR>tight=
en a
loose pin without solving the problem, you can experience a <BR>clean stri=
ng
with absurdly loose pins. The <<sometimes>> effect=
of
<BR>tightening a loose pin or putting pressure on it points (at least me) =
in
<BR>another direction.<BR><BR>If the tight pin theory is really valid, the=
n in
nearly all cases... if <BR>not all... a false beat will occur when a=
pin
is loose and it will be <BR>eliminated upon tightening the pin. Since this=
is
quite clearly, for not <BR>to say obviously not true... then the theory ha=
s a
major problem.<BR><BR>There is no doubt something that changes sometimes w=
hen
manipulating the <BR>pin/pin hole relationship in various fashions. =
But
it I dont think its <BR>even close to been really shown that its simply a
matter of the pin <BR>being loose. Not by a long
shot.<BR><BR>Cheers<BR>RicB</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
