How would sideways tension (I think more like intermittent point-source longitudinal compression) on the bridge reduce the ability for the soundboard to vibrate more freely? Whatever tension or compression or whatever forces are within the bridge - not the soundboard. How would what is/isn't going on in the bridge affect soundboard performance? Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- Yes, the string bearing is reversed, but the concept behind is that you don't have tension sideways on the bridge, which helps the soundboard vibrate more freely.
