i tuned a baldwin sf in a church yesterday, and the treble bridge had  
a very substantial crack from about F7 to the end, C8. the music  
director wanted to go ahead and tune it, despite my concern that the  
crack might open up even more by pulling the notes to pitch from about  
20-25 cents flat.

the pins have moved far enough that i don't consider the bridge to be  
expoy-able. from what i read in the archives, one does not usually cap  
these uncapped, vertically lam'd bridges. is replacement of the entire  
treble bridge the only answer?
