It is so interesting that a simple question has resulted in such a diverse 
answer. On the one extreme is the notion that tapping is not only not needed, 
but actually bad, and the other notion, which states that it is needed and 
should be done. While I would welcome the thought that it is not needed, I 
still have not read the answer to my basic question: how often should strings 
be tapped, or seated, on the bridge?
