When I got to the = Bass covered string section it was h o r r i b l e.. No better = description. I tipped the piano away from the wall to see if there was a = foreign object vibrating on the soundboard. No. But the wall behind the = piano was very warm..... Removed the kneeboard. Horrors! The entire Bass = bridge had collapsed, totally broken-down glue joints between the Bass = soundboard bridge-block and the off-set plank as well as the joint = beween that plank and the actual Bass bridge. I then loosened off the = Bass covereds and extracted both bridge and off-set and brought them to = my workshop. I propose to glue and screw them together with an = epoxy-resin glue (Araldite). Then take the whole shebang back to the = piano and do the same gluing to the bridge-block. Is the list "pro" - or = - "con" - or simply horrified? En passant - I wonder what the joint between the soundboard and the bass = block is like....thinks... Needless to say the owner and I moved the piano to a different location = - against a radiator. But she says that radiator is never turned = on.......
