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!)
