> I don't know how many "new" Yamahas I've worked on where I could visually see the string drop when I seated the strings.   Nothing crushed on this piano...
> I don't seat strings on a regular basis but when I hear fuzzy tone...unfocused...it is amazing what seating the string can do.   If you don't want to seat strings when it's needed that's your choice...

Next time, before seating the string, slide a piece of paper under 
the string on the cap. If the string is up the bridge pin, it will 
be off the cap, and you should have no trouble doing that.
