Hi Ron! I'm not sure I understand how you want to achieve this and why it's easier to adjust the impedance by using 3 bridges. Would you use a setup similar to the Steinway A, that is, with the tenor bridge in front of the long bridge, to the left, or would you move it over the long bridge (overstringing), closer to the bass bridge? I'm asking this, because with the first setup, I think it would be more difficult to adjust the board impedance according to the needs of each bridge. And, would you put 2-string unisons on both tenor and bass bridge, or just on the tenor bridge?
