Strange bridge in a Steinway

[Joe And Penny Goss]

More of a direct imparting of frequencies from string to the board without
the muting effect that will be present in the conventional bridge to board
assembly.
Why do violins have a foot on the bridge, a bass bar etc.
An attempt to capture this idea?
