In a number of voicing classes and seminars across the country, I have
experienced (seen and heard) how tapping the bridge pin can reduce or
remove false beats and even strengthen and focus the tone of that
string. I don't claim to know all the physics involved, or whether or
not strings can climb, or jump, for that matter. I'll leave that
discussion to others with a better grasp of the math. <br>
<br>
In the meantime, (even if it isn't a "permanent" fix, just as my tuning
isn't) I'll go on tapping pins here and there as needed, improving the
tone of the pianos I work on and satisfying my clients <G>.<br>
