About making a template on mylar for new bridge pins: I am sure this is well known, but I thought I would throw it out anyway. When making that pattern, do not place the mylar _on top_ of the bridge pins and sand through the mylar to form the pattern. Because the bridge pins are slanted, you will get a false pattern for drilling the holes in the new cap. First remove the old pins, tape the mylar in position and, with an awl, mark where the _holes_ are. This will be an accurate (or at least original) pattern for the new _holes_. Then count the number of notes you have marked. Compare that with the number of notes in each section. Count and campare again and maybe a third time. Be sure *all* notes are accounted for. :=) Joel Rappaport Round Rock, Texas
