      Excellent info. Also, the 6ft. 1905 AB Chase that we rebuilt this year 
had a bell as well. The piano, built like a tank, had no claims to any thing 
concerning the bell. If the bell is such an incredible tonal device certainly 
it would have had a more noticeable effect on tone which to my ear does not. It 
also torque's the rim which could force the rasten/board joint to rotate out 
ward and there by upwards also adds torque the board.

Well, I didn't say the difference was dramatic. To understand why these 
things are rarely used on smaller pianos one has only to consider the relative 
sizes of the plates in the area under question.

       True enough you didn't say dramtic & I agree. The plate on the AB 
Chase was fairly stiff & I doubt any nose bolt arrangement was needed of any sort.
