I['m thinking of the Steinway B in particular which definitely benefits from the transition bridge as well as having a small shelf upon which you could extend the new agraffe line.

I don't want to modify action ratios for a half dozen notes there, but I'd love to be able to move the agraffes back to accommodate the strike ratio. In some pianos, it looks quite possible, and in others not so simple. That low in the scale, the strike point isn't that touchy so, though it could very likely be improved, the overall transition is already usually so dramatically better than the original than I haven't been forced into it. If I'm still standing when I run out of the other interesting things I want to try, I'll probably eventually attack it. There are a few other things I need to try to Ron proof in the meantime. Ron N
