[CAUT] Baldwin D bridge

[Paul T Williams]

Hi Alan,

Our '56 D is the same although the very top section is notched at an angle 
and the rest straight forward at 90 degrees.  Not sure what they were 
thinking, but it tunes well...go figgur.

[CAUT] Baldwin D bridge



Has anyone seen this before? These pics (not great quality, but what can 
you expect from a phone, ;-)) are of a Baldwin D #141772. The top bridge 
section is notched normally, with the notch parallel to the capo. The mid 
treble bridge section is notched such that the bridge pins are in line 
with the bridge and at an angle to the capo. Then the notching returns to 
normal in the tenor section. What were they trying to achieve?

Alan
