Unstable tuning, buzzing/false strings can be greatly helped by these TWO OPERATIONS:

1/Pressing out the distal portion (between hitch pin & bridge) of each string;

2/ Tapping strings to the bridge (both sides of the bridge: distal & speaking length sides).

Here’s a pic showing use of a Papps wedge case to press through the distal portion on a Yamaha CFIII:

Pressing Out string tension

This procedure is necessary, of course, because string drag (thru bridge pin angle & over bridge) means that the distal portion moves least, and sometimes hardly at all – thus leading to a discrepancy in string tension in the various string portions. Though these procedures are usually done at times of manufacture and re-stringing, they are usually forgotten as an essential part of piano maintenance!

First press out the distal portion, then the speaking length. Follow with tapping strings into the bridge pin angle:

Tapping strings to bridge using wood block

Do not tap strings too hard! For instance, a metal hammer/tuning hammer would have too much weight for this purpose, burrying the strings in the bridge (increasing drag/losing down-bearing/etc). Thus I use my voicing block, which is made of Beech with an inset piece of end-grain Bubinga as the mallet head!

I consider doing this as often as once a year! Recently, the procedure did not produce the expected tuning stability – so I repeated the whole process 2 months later – and the pressing thru’ left the strings 2-4 Hertz lower, revealing that pressing thru only once may indeed not be enough (I’d never noticed this before!).

Incidentally, tapping the strings a second time hardly showed any change.
