Nice piano, nice tone, nothing unusual except..tada..a bare bridge, no graphite, no kind of lubrication that I could see. Beautiful piece of wood, startling in contrast to what I usually see on bridges. This piano tuned up very nicely and easily. My question is do any of you know if there is a lubricant, obviously invisible, on the bridge. And if there isn't, then why do most other manufacturers put something there? Gina Gina Carter Charlotte NC Gina, Bechstein doesn't put graphite on their bridges either. At least on the few I have seen. Andrew Remillard
