Hi, Don, I guess that's my term for doing whatever it takes to get good solid termination of the string at the bridge--epoxying/replacing bridge pins, removing grooves in the top of the bridge or recapping, checking the notching, replacing "graphite", tapping strings carefully down to the bridge, etc, etc. Restringing without also taking care of the soundboard bridges is a waste of time. Of course that's also the time to deal with agraffes and v-bars and duplex bridges/aliquots. Maybe there's a better, more widely used term other than "bridge stabilization" that describes what I'm talking about. But at this point I hope you get what I mean.
