Hi Dale,

Del rescaled a M&H 54" upright for me and we went from the cantilevered bass 
to a solid, directly-attached, bass bridge. However, the speaking lengths on 
note #1 only changed from 46.5" to 46.3" and from 38.7" to 38.4" at note #26 
(highest bass note).

>> Did you think this change was a noticeable tonal improvement? It sounds as 
if the basic overall position of the bridge changed little but if there was a 
change on a scale of 1-10 how much. Totally subjective but go for it.

Sorry, this doesn't help you with your damping questions though. Interesting 
concern though - would sure like to hear what others may have found in cases 
such as this.
>> Me too

Regarding bass bridge shape and ultimate position - is it not best to let 
that be determined by rescaling data?
>>>Yes it is but I also don't wish for the bridge to sit too far out on the 
board/rib edge which is what I suspect the logic of the cantilever is all about 
in the first place.
And it might be interesting to see how the scaling would work out if a 
transition tenor bridge was considered.
  >>> Yes it would. But can't afford to go to far on this.
   Thanks --Dale
