Good point Susan. I'm really sure if it is the coupling or pulling. I  
do not squeeze the couplers very tight but I suppose installing four  
might be pulling the strings together ever so slightly. I have had a  
good deal of success installing the couplers on the front bearing  
segments in the treble sections so I thought why not try installing  
in these tenor problem segments as well.
