<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">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.<BR>
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?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for your help<BR>

Eventually the bass strings with the wine will start to buzz because of the sugar, etc. If you replace just the contaminated strings, they will sound clearer than the other ones. Even after just 6 or 7 years, it will make a difference. I would suggest you try to convince the customer to replace all the bass strings now. <BR>
