Linda, Welcome - and what fine gifts you bring too! I've never heard of these before now. What a hoot! Sure seems like a lot of engineering gymnastics to get a straight bridge. How did the action feel? Is the pinblock one piece? Imagine the fun getting a good block-to-plate flange fit! That's one block installation per double plank. <G> I'd guess the "killer octave" possibly wasn't too bad either, with the straight bridge and what looks like it might be a cutoff bar below and forward of that curved connecting strut, on the side opposite the dark shadow. Is it? I'd like to crawl all over this one for a while and try to see what they did, compared to what they got. Very interesting. Ron N
