| -  On a piano with vertical hitch pins (like a Baldwin
| Accujust), if we set the downbearing to zero on a
| single hitch pin (but leave all the other strings as
| they were), will there be a significant difference in
| tone compared to the same string when it has its
| factory adjusted downbearing?


Not that I have been able to detect.
