Hello Alan.

Did you say to make kinks in the strings?=20
=20

Yes I did.

=20
This sounds like a sacralidge, false beat-wise.=20
=20

Does it ? After all, there is already a kink in vertical plane at the
agraffee termination (or is it the word kink that is incorrect ? I meant
just bending the wire).  Why would a kink in horizontal plane be worse ?
Also, the wound trichords causing the damping problem are more often =
found
at the bass side of the scale, where the false beats if any don't bother =
me
as much as those in the two last upper octaves.  By the way, I am not =
sure
of the effect of kink on false beats. =20

=20
Or am I missing something? How do you do it?
=20

Exactly like when lifting strings to get them in the same horizontal =
plane :
with a hook, pulling the string close to the agraffee in the direction =
where
I want it (that is horizontally in this case, the left string left and =
the
right string right).
=20
Why not give it a try ? The effect on damping is immediate.

Best regards.
