[CAUT] Pitchlock for v-bar duplex noise - was "D" with a ghost

[John Baird]

How many have tried using Pitchlock couplers to reduce v-bar duplex 
noise? What are the results? I have not tried it, but know that muting 
the strings off with felt has an adverse effect on the tone.

It has been suggested in the past that a drop of glue on this portion of 
the string will change the mass of the string just enough to correct the 
problem. I've had success with this, but I sure don't like to show 
anyone the messy appearance.
