Since a shorter backscale doesn't allow as much freedom = of movement for the bridge, would you, then, consider reducing the = bearing on a piano, or section, that had a shorter backscale, and vice = versa? Is there some formula or general rule of thumb for this. David Love Yes. Conventional wisdom tells us to set bearing very light in the = bass. This is why. With the extremely short backscales commonly found in = the low bass of modern pianos setting any kind of string deflection is = going to tie the bridge/soundboard assembly down completely.=20 With a backscale as shown above normal string bearing -- in this = case about 0.5=BA string deflection -- is not only possible, but = necessary.
