Hi Ron,
In this case the piano needed the strings ( don't know a term for =
relaxing the little non kink )
as we did a pitch raise first of 30 cents.
I do this at or very near pitch as I do not want to have my work be of =
no value. In other words seating the strings and then doing a big pitch =
raise puts the string back in the need of having the kink put back in.
Its a need more to get the kink and the string running as straight as =
possible to the next termination point than to settle the string on the =
bridge.
I hope my intentions are clear. It is a little hard for me to explain.

  David, did you mean sit butt or seat string?=20

  Again, I don't think Ron is trying to be a jokester.=20

  Here, look at me:     :-|     Or am I just that slow?

  I think Ron's point is that string seating is likely of little if any =
benefit (at least long term) to false beat reduction. If you isolate the =
two procedures, you can better evaluate how each procedure affects the =
outcome. Perhaps a similar benefit will occur from CA application alone.
