Baldwin D bridgeThis was done on some Baldwin and also some Steinway pianos, D's that I know of. The theory was, I believe, that the inevitable out-of-tune partials would improve the sustain. How does it sound?

These pics (not great quality, but what can you expect from a phone, ;-)) are of a Baldwin D #141772. The top bridge section is notched normally, with the notch parallel to the capo. The mid treble bridge section is notched such that the bridge pins are in line with the bridge and at an angle to the capo. Then the notching returns to normal in the tenor section. What were they trying to achieve? Alan -- Alan McCoy, RPT Eastern Washington University amccoy at ewu.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
