Wazzup?? > > ric Don't know. I've never had a Bechstein in my clientele to play with, so I'm not familiar with any of their specific idiosyncrasies. But note, I've never said loose pins were the only cause of string noises, just the most likely in the capo sections. What sort of beat is it? Can you make the beat go away by any other means - pushing on the agraffe top, for instance, or touching the string in front of the agraffe with your finger? Ron N
