This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I have seen this effect as a result of bridge "clean-up" work done prior to restringing. Some kind of cleaning solution was used on the bridge, which soaked in and left a residue in the wood. (Perhaps a wood bleaching agent?) The bridge pins and strings touching the bridges were coroded and rusted after a few years. I would bet that restringing again would only temporarily address the symptoms. Re-capping the bridge is probably the real solution to the problem.
