Short Treble (sustain?)

[Stéphane Collin]

Yes Joe, it looks like a varnish.  And indeed, from a 9ft, I would expect more than this.  No hear of a piano with varnish on the bridge, and yet sounding very well ?  Any idea of why makers don't put varnish on the bridge ?
Thanks,

Stéphane Collin.

| Stephane,
| Are you sure it's Varnish. I ran into a Bechstein that had been "Rebuilt" in
| Europe. The ijits finished the soundboard and bridges with Polyester!!!!
| Although the piano was 7', it had all of the power of spinet with Q-tips for
| hammers! It was just like a modern Hot Rod, all show and no go.<G>
