And that at the right = of the strut, choirs have three same speaking length, while at the left = the three speaking length per choir are different (as Dale pointed out) = ? Makes me think (like the limited range of front duplex) that they didn't = like monotonous uniformity of sound all over the scale, back then.

Unless you = are saying that the speaking length of the string required the front = notch to be where it is, and the lack of a dogleg then forces a shorter = contact segment ? That would make sense I suppose... so then, you are = saying they did this to avoid using a dogleg in the bridge itself ?... = Ok.. :) whats the benifit of avoiding the dogleg then ? Cheers RicB Calin Tantareanu wrote:=20 I still think it's because of the bridge having no dogleg. There's = simply no room for the larger contact area, so they made it smaller. Seems obvious = to me. But if you can find another explanation, please tell us. =20 Hmm.. not sure we are on the same page here. I mean the width of the contact area of the bridge along the length of the stringss. There is a very marked gradual changing in this width, expecially noticeble in the =20 _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives =20 ------=_NextPart_001_0023_01C4773D.C8F4BFD0 An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
