Hi Dale

Again I agree with you.  Sometimes changing the string is the only thing 
that helps.  Sometimes changing the string and cleaning up the front 
termination does the trick.  And in both cases this can concern that 
kind of falsness that pressure with a screwdriver on the bridge pin also 
aliviates. 

I, like many others today start often as not by checking with the 
screwdriver trick and then apply a bit of CA... or more recently a 
fairly thick blend of Cellulose laquer and thinner and move on from 
there.  If I dont get a quick result with the laquer I will try cleaning 
up the front termination a bit. And if that doesnt work I try moving the 
string around the hitch pin... and finnally changing the string.  
Sometimes  nothing seems to do the trick... most often I can get at 
least some improvement... but frankly I find that perhaps 30 % of the 
time at least some falseness remains or returns later.

Cheers
