When a string just won't settle, I pull it sharp = by an amount that would ordinarily be way too much such as 10-30 cents. = A hard, sharp blow brings it down instantly. Sometimes, further hard = and sharp blows bring it once again way flat. I may try pulling sharp = again, maybe a little more. When this just does not work, I pull the = string a little sharp, then give a good and quick jab with the False = Beat Eliminator. This will usually cause the string to go very flat, as = much as 50 cents or more but when it is pulled up again, it will stay = put.=20 Sometimes, it takes more than one attempt. The important thing to = consider when using such a tool is damage to both the string and the = bridge. You can break a string or induce false beats into it by = distorting the string with too much force.
