No problem I'm sure... but I am curious to your views on just how often you
run into bridges where bridge pins even come close to consistantly being on
line and angle ? Seems to me that even the best makes seem to have trouble
with dead on consistancy. And less expensive pianos.... well.... course this
is one of those things I just Love to hate about Petrofs...but they are
certainly not alone in this....

For that matter how often are you really satisfied with your own results... ?
just curious.
