I never got a response to this question. Did my email get through? I am restringing a Steinway M. Before I pulled the strings I read a composite down bearing of 10 to 12 thousandths across the bass and tenor bridges with a dial gauge micrometer. My question is, how much downbearing is too much. Is 10 to 12 thousandths too much. At what point would it be worth pulling the plate to adjust it. The soundboard and bridges are in good condition.
