The lower end of the tenor bridge bent around kind of like a shepherds crook and became the bass bridge. The strangest thing though was on the low tenor wound strings. They had extremely long stretches of plain wire between the hitch and the beginning of the winding for some reason! It's been too long to remember the details. At the time I remembered thinking that it was "Rube Goldberg" engineering! Sounds like I might have been wrong. Warren -- Home of The Humor List Warren D.
