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. Vladan ============================== 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.
