Hello List,

I too saw Don's high speed film and was very impressed
with it.  The main thing I came away with is that life
at the bridge pin is incredibly violent.  I don't
remember seeing if the string momentarily lifted off
the bridge.  I can however see how a pin can pull out
of the bridge, and how the hole in the bridge cap can
enlarge where the pin exits the wood.  In fact, I am
amazed that the system works as well as it does!

This film is really worth seeing, along with some
others Don shows.

==============================
I just saw a presentation by Don Mannino in Syracuse,
NY which included some
high tech films of pianos in action.  One film was of
a string moving up &
down at the bridge and it sure looked like that string
might creep up the
pin after awhile, great presentation if you get a
chance to see it.
