Got a good photo on my first day lugging my camera around with me! This =
is for those that might think a transition bridge is only to be found on =
high-end 100+ year-old pianos and high-performance recently-redesigned =
pianos. The photo below  is of a 1962 Cable spinet (please ignore the =
cockroach crap).

And of course, some clown is going to ask - "yeah, but how did it =
sound?" Silly question. I would describe the transition from plain wire =
to bass section as a two-step, less-bad, than some spinets. Somehow I =
don't think the less-than-perfect transition is the fault of the =
three-bridge design. Likely other factors involved. (Like maybe a =
soundboard made of rec-room-wall paneling?) You can bet your bottom =
dollar that a hockey stick design was tried first - that must have =
worked really well for them to justify spending $17 (or whatever) extra =
dollars on EVERY piano they built to incorporate this three bridge =
design! (Check out the nice, even, pinning on that little bridge!)
