These remind me of a design I saw on one of Darrel Fandrich's pianos in
which short ribs like these were installed between each of the longer =
ribs
along the bridge line.  I don't believe they were brass weighted though =
I am
curious as to whether their purpose was to smooth impedance. =20

 Here are my mini ribs made out of spruce and brass weights. I made them =
but
have not tried them yet. They are very easy to make. I hope they work =
well.
