Hello list.

This old 1864 Pleyel (again) has many features which I think are quite =
straight forward.
The rim and the ribs are shaped so there is nearly no crown in the bass =
bridge regio, few in the tenor, lots in the alto and again less in the =
high trebble.  In the original setting, downbearing followed this =
pattern : nearly no on the bass bridge, few on the low long bridge, lots =
in the trebble and less again in the high trebble.
My question is : in such an arrangement, can we set more downbearing in =
this alto area than if the downbearing were spread on the whole scale ?  =
How much could I put there ?  For now, after soundboard shimming, there =
are as much as three graduations on the Lowell gauge, in front bearing =
and in rear bearing.  I'm used to consider this quite much.  Any =
opinions ?

Best regards,

St=E9phane Collin.
