Patrick, I've done all of what you have mentioned, with mixed results. I have not attributed that to loose windings, however. Usually, I've found that if someone has over-"Twisted" a string, a similar sound will occur. Hmmmm? Is a puzzlement. (Said the King of Siam to Anna). Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.

Joe: I find that kind of noise frequently comes from poor seating on the capo bar, particularly in grands. The string will also be out of level with the others for that note. Lifting the string with a string hook seats the string as well as levels it. In the bass section, however, the cause is frequently a loose winding. Putting at twist in the string usually helps.
