---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment Ric, Here's a copy/scan of my attempt at clarification.<G> I've drawn in the cut-off bar and the approximate location of the bridge. My reasoning for the cut-off bar is to put the bridge at a more equal distance between the cutoff bar and the opposite rim. As the upper treble, on these pianos, is usually ethereal/nasal, etc., I am theorizing that too much soundboard in that area is partially the cause of this poor sound. The cut-off bar will reduce, greatly, the amount of soundboard in the direct area of the top treble. Also, it would help to stiffen the new ribs you've installed, thereby counteracting the downbearing somewhat. K?
