Hamburg String seating proceedures

Sorry for the text goof??
 
 
 
Thank you for your timely response.  Through experimentation, I've  wound up 
"massaging the non-speaking area of the string just on the other side  of the 
bridge.  I've also had some success at least temporarily improving  false 
beats and overall tone centering by massaging on other non-speaking parts  of the 
string closer to the tuning pins and agraffe.  By  massing, I  mean using a 
brass or wooden dowel to rub the string by applying only enough  pressure to 
feel a little give in the string.
 
Obviously, level and mated strings are to be assumed, have you found  
improvement by leveling the string just off the bridge as suggested by Kevin  Stock?
 
While attending the Northwest PTG convention in Salt Lake a few years  back, 
I heard a presentation from a woman from Bechstein talk about helping to  
define the termination points by tapping on either side of the point along the  
string.  I've found that to be helpful.
 
Thanx, again,
 
Bruce P
