My Ricca has ok tone in the bass, but there are a few notes that I cannot seem to improve by twisting the strings. Do you guys have any suggestions? The bass bridge is somewhat cracked in the middle, along several notes near the monochord/bichord break which is at F#-10/G11, and extending farther up the bichords than down the monochords. Some notes I can't get to have as full of a tone as surrounding notes are F9, C4, B3, A1 (A#2 sounds OK but wouldn't hurt to have a little improvement when playing loud -- sounds ok when moderate or soft though), G11, G#12, C16, B15 & C#17(lesser extent than C16), the sharps at the upper end, but I could probably live with them, and B27, the highest note on the bass bridge and highest wound string bichord in the piano -- this one has a replaced universal string. Do you guys have any suggestions, like things to check or things to do? Do you think epoxying the crack in the bass bridge might help? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo!
