<DIV>RicB's comment about 'adding mass' to the bridge pin by pushing (=
for
instance) a screwdriver blade against, it or on top of it, suggests that may=
be
thicker/longer/heavier bridge pins may work better in the top regions. =
Even the lightest pressure on my Bechstein 'B' top treble bridge pins
eliminates the false beating. Translating this into permanancy is the =
next
question. I currently tune a Stuart piano where this type of=
falseness is unknown. OK, the construction of these instruments is ver=
y
different, but there is certainly a considerable amount of 'mass' in the bri=
dge
aggraffes through which the strings pass. Is this a clue?</DIV>
