<html> Hi Tom,              Order a new set of strings from Mappes, it will be faster and cheaper, getting paid for the full job is better than suffering recalls.

Even the ones without wine contamination....      I loosened and removed the worst buzzing string from the hitch pin....identical to the Baldwin Acu touch----Acu whatever---you know what they look like, adjustable------the string had no twist as it was placed on the hitch pin. I twisted it one full turn, replaced it , tuned it and it was clear as a bell.      Question: I wonder if I twist all the bass strings and tune, this will solve the problem for ever more? I wonder what can be done about the wine contamination, sugar,  on the strings? Should I just replace the entire set of bass strings? Thanks for your help Tommy Black Decatur, Ala. </blockquote></html>
