I regularly = tune a Harpsichord with NEGATIVE downbearing. Only the opposing angles = of the bridge pins keeping the strings in contact with the bridge. I = used regularly to find the strings floating above the bridge until I = determined the reason and simply pulled the pins out a little. But note, = my friends, this negative down-bearing made no discernible difference to = the quality of the sound. But that's a Harpsichord. Any reason for = thinking that NO downbearing ( note "NO" not "NEGATIVE" ) would make all = that difference in a piano? I have no flame suit I'm just geared up in a space suit ready for that promised trip to Mars. Regards from a beautifully clear-blue sky'd Sussex Downland Village. = Yeee Ha!
