Thereabouts. I'll often extend the high end of the bass bridge 
closer to the rim too, or to include another rib or even two 
in larger pianos where the bass bridge too nearly parallels 
the rim. I will have made the low bass flexible, and need to 
get some stiffness at the upper bass and low tenor somehow, to 
keep them from screaming.
