If a few leads inserted from the top work well, maybe multiple steel inserts would too since there is limited room on a Wapinized bridge. Select a suitable diameter bolt, cut the head off and cut a slot in the shank to screw it in. Don't recess it too much and cover it with a paper dot, this way it will be somewhat easy to remove for future bridge repair. Hex drive cap or set screws might work too. As far as attaching a weight to the bottom, since it is a Wapin bridge, you'd have to drill down through the bridge and case with a pilot hole to be certain of clearing all the bridge pins. Then drill up through the belly for screw insertion, a pilot guide end might be needed to avoid wandering. Attaching a lead on the top of the bridge would impede string rendering across the bridge unless you got ambitious and notched the bottom to clear each string. Idea- a Jiffy lead on short risers placed between unisons, you might even be able to replace a broken wire without removing them. Get creative with brass stock bent to the bridge curve on risers (I like this one), less invasive easily reversed (maybe inverted half-round?). Have Mason & Hamlin engraved on it :-) Regards, Jon Page
