<html> <body> Dave, <x-tab>        </x-tab>Are you sure that the false beats are coming from the bridge end o the string?

Other than there, the piano sounds great.   I don't see anything different about these strings or the bridge from other strings, but I think I need to fix if possible.  For example, B6 center string has a beat of about 2 bps.  Not as loud as a real beat between two strings, but still THERE.   Some higher strings beat faster.   I have experimented with seating the strings with my copper rod, at each bridge pin.  Also tried tapping each bridge pin in a small bit.  Doesnt seem to help, except in certain strings.  I did lightly sand and buff the v-bar before restringing, and think I have the right adjustment on the pressure bar.  I've been reading the archives and the PTG CD articles re false beats, but the number of "hits" for this search term is overwhelming.   Can anyone offer me advice on what to do next to reduce the false beats, short of unstringing and recapping bridge, etc?  I would appreciate your help!   Frustrated in Florida,   Dave Smith SW FL --- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (<a href="http://www.grisoft.com/"= eudora="autourl">http://www.grisoft.com</a>).
