Yes the 7'2" Sohmer had agraffes on the total tenor bridge. They all had round aliquots behind the agraffes on the wood portion of the bridge, the top section had smaller diameter rods. My point was that the rkods had sunk unevenly into the wood. > And the agraffes without aliquot behind were only used in the lower > sections? My 5'4" Sohmer did not have aliquots behind the agraffes and the agraffes did not cover the whole bridge. The top 18 notes were standard bridge pin configuration as shown in my last post. > Anybody knows why? Who knows what evil exists in the hearts of man? Perhaps the smaller piano didn't have enough room.
