Thanks, Jurgen, I'll try that.  It also solidifies the bridge pins, and =
prevents any possible string damage.

  Tapping strings down to eliminate false beats is good - giving the =
bridge pins a tap is even better.  Tapping the bridge pins in just a =
fraction has several advantages: it positions the string at a "new" =
termination point on the bridge pin, and it pulls the string back down =
onto bridge.  One danger of tapping the string itself onto the bridge is =
embedding it too deeply into the the bridge cap, creating a poorly =
defined termination and associated tonal problems.
