You've removed the notch that was in the old pin. The string is now in a different position (some wire has slipped left or right around the hitch). I think Susan Kline remarked that loosening up one end of the string and tightening up on the other can sometimes clear up string problems. Makes me wonder about deformation of the string at the capo, or the way the string comes off the bridge top. Why is it that pulling some pianos up to pitch produces false beats? Tom Cole
