sunken tenor bridge

[Farrell]

sunken tenor bridgeYou might also want to read up on some old articles that I believe Del Fandrich wrote regarding use of springs between belly braces and ribs.

So, is this an example of an old board shimmed to restore crown?  ;-)

  Try screwing some weights under the soundboard into the end of the bridge.
  Brass weights are classy.
  Lead weights are cheap, and weigh just as much as brass, ounce for ounce.

    dear list,  A nicely restored good no-name grand was given to our non-profit.  It
    has new block, strings, and a shimmed board.  We installed a set of
    Ronsen hammers and regulated it.  Now we notice the lowest end of the
    tenor bridge has no downbearing, and the first few tenor notes thwack
    loudly on a hard blow.  We don't want to install a new bridge cap. 
    Is there a cheap fix for this?  thanks,    Ben
