[pianotech] New stuff at the convention?

How about a bridge shaped piece of wood epoxied to the underside of the
soundboard under the bridge, made thick enough so the net thickness of the
two gets you the overall height you are looking for. You might need a little
more thickness overall for the same stiffness to compensate for the
soundboard being in the middle of the section instead of on the bottom.

Yes, what else?

Why wouldn't it? What other means?
