Thank you, I wasn't sure whether opinions were ok. Unassisted movement up and down the pin is not at all obvious to me. Gaps forming underneath the string at the bridge edge are another matter. I don't know what you are measuring but I would guess it is something else.

Well, its certainly ok to have an opinion. I think tho, that this statement is difficult to understand given the fact that one can measure a change in relative height for strings and pins. Obviously, string movement up and down the pin is possible for whatever reasons may end up being the case. No one doubts that this bridge compression thingy also happens. But its most assuredly not the only thing going on. Cheers RicB David Love writes I've not really been following this discussion in all its detail so this may be an already expressed opinion but here's what I see happening. Under any conditions, with sufficiently angled bridge pin that is unnotched, there is no way for the string to ride up the pin--period. .... snip _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives
