This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Dear colleagues -=20 First of all, my sincere appreciation and thanks to all who responded = with the typically generous eloquence of this list. I have learned a lot = from your observations and discussion.=20 I now understand that it's a problem of the soundboard, not the bridge. = When the piano was restrung, the bearing was "reset". I'm not sure what = that means in detail, but I am assuming that the height of the plate = relative to the soundboard and bridge was changed. I am going to get the = Lowell db gauge, and investigate further. I will also investigate the = condition of the crown with multiple measurements with string from = underneath the board. Both of these are excellent suggestions.=20 The bridge was not recapped when the stringing was done. Nor was the = board replaced.=20 I had originally envisioned that the friction of the strings against the = bridge pins had somehow "grabbed" the bridge and pulled it forward - = hence the term "rolled bridge." It's a phrase that a number of the PTG = elders used to use up in New England. Now, thanks to all of you, I = realize that they might have been in error.=20 I'll update the list about the investigation when it's complete. Thank you all again for your comments and advice!
