Carl teplitski Not much has been written lately, re. the fact that more times than not, false beats have been evident when the wire seems to be "not" in contact with the bridge. That is why I will tap the wire to have it make conract. It's always in contact with the pin, even when in an elvated position.. I have seated the string, tapped the pin, and still had a false beat. Tightened the coils sometimes, to get a different result. None of these things seemed conclusive. Changing wire was one of the best ways to improve the problem, . . not always. Whose nose .
