Ah, yes, Joe. There is more to report on this but whether I create a living sculpture out of epoxy or actually cut a new bridge, there is another nightmare looming ... This is going to totally screw up hammer and damper alignment for 26 notes! I don't even know if the hammers will fit and/or if I'll have to redrill those rails, too.

Holy Wood Workers Batman! (My usual "Yikes" doesn't do it justice!) That's one of the worst I've seen! My first thought was: "Well, that's what ya get for buying a Cheap POS"! "Toss it in the nearest landfill!" However, there is a solution: Break out the Epoxy and Bond all of that "Select Hardwood" together. Then, plug most of the holes; lay out a proper pin spacing and redrill the speaking length pin holes; insert new pins and yer done. I've done it. It's a lot of work, but it's doable.
