Strange bridge

[Michael Gamble]

Hello Jean-Jacques and List
Just back from Easter hols.
This is typical Broadwood 1860s grand construction. Has to be a grand since 
the covered strings are to the right of the metals and the hitches are 
shown. The sleeves are to allow the strings to move across the bridge. 
Nowadays the copper covering stops short of the bridge making this sleeve 
un-necessary. Notice the Broadwood Hitch Loops? Twice round the h-pin then 
three turns around itself before cutting off. Lovely. Good photo 
Jean-Jacques. Thanks.
Regards all
Michael G.(UK)
