However many directions a string goes when it vibrates, it either moves the bridge in the process or it doesn't. >> Well of course the bridge moves...... as does the soundboard......without these motions the piano thingee would be daid. Movement of bridge and board is by definition molecular since " The smallest particle into which an element or a compound can be divided without changing its chemical and physical properties is the molecule" the things can't move without it being molecular movement. When the common tech has their own cyclotron or atom smasher we should begin to worry about this stuff....not until then though. :-) Bridge mechanics work because of movement and any theory, or theoritician, can say otherwise even though they will be wrong....... We should move on to the really important stuff such as whether or not we are gonna allow that danged Joe G. CLAIM that Oregon is No. 2!!!!!!!!! danged heretic. :-) I mean after all "the Ducks"?????
