Hi folks. Just thought I'd share that I've had very much success these past months using Cellulose lacquer thinned to about 10 to 1 instead of CA glue on bridge pins for all kinds of falseness. Improves both classic false beats and wavering non periodic beating along with quite a bit of various string noises. Sinks in real quick, is very easy to apply and clean up and gives immediate results. Careful application to front duplex areas also is useful. On a couple occasions I've more or less managed to shall we say <<tune>> the entire front duplex. That is to say tune in the sense that one can get all strings to yield the same amount and basic colour sound contribution to the overall sound result. Seems to dampen very high frequency buzz and zing sounds without really doing much else. I just let a drop run down the front length til it hits the capo. The effect in both cases has a lasting effect, tho the front duplex length sometimes needs a touch up later on. Been at this for about 6 months on several instruments of all sorts. Hardly a conclusive study or anything... but worth mentioning. Cheers RicB
