Yes, it is. That is part of the Z-Bar and "floating bass" design.

Extraordinarily steep grain angle.

Do you have a pic of the other side?

Gene - IMHO, you really need to have a lengthy conversation with Del. His
design modifications produced an incredible sound from my M&H upright.....

PS: Oh, and after you glue in that new soundboard (hide glue, preferably)
and need to clean up any squeeze-out, I've got just the solution for
you......  ;-)

Just getting it apart now so I can measure and record the scale.
No wound trichords to deal with but no trans bridge. - not ruling out one
for redesign depending on the scale. The end of the tenor bridge come very
close to the bottom board/rim structure. The bass bridge seems more nicely
positioned.
Bass bridge is canto levered and straight. The canto lever will go.
Huge birdseye maple space filler/cut off device in the lower right and a
smaller cut off bar in the upper left. Might just keep that part the way it
is.
Do you know if those pins that look like bridge pins - driven into the plate
- that offset/terminate the wound bass strings just below the tuning pins
are removable?
