Ron, I think it should be listed as "fact", but apparently few want to question the status quo. After moving about a dozen bridges I can certainly state that it's nearly miraculous! I've never figured out why it's not universally accepted, other than the "mine's bigger than yours" mentality towards bass string length. My point was how close minded and anal he immediately became when I questioned his huge cantilever and short backscale. I wasn't being a jerk, I simply asked if he had considered this and then showed him one of my modified pianos. Conversation over... see you, bye!
