No Dog Leg...was Bridge Design

"..when there's no dog leg, the tension percentage adjacent to the plate
struts will be a complete disaster...." Absolutely wrong. The piano in
question is a Bechstein, which would probably have individual TIED strings
in the plain wire, which allows for corrections on a note to note basis,
allowing you to smooth out any anomolies in the strut area. Again, scale
evaluation and correction, on ALL rewhatevers, is essential, IMHO. lf, on
the oft-chance, this particular piano does not have individual tied strings,
it is still possible to add that feature to the scale/hitch pin
configuration. No biggie here.
