Here's  one way smooth out that tenor bass break on a Steinway M.  The  first
photo shows mass loading at the end of the tenor bridge.  A  small hole was
drilled in the extension to receive a screw.  A portion  of the brass weights
needed to be ground off to miss the plate to allow  seating on the small
bridge extension.  Attaching from underneath is  more difficult because of
the postion of the bracing directly below.   The second photo shows slightly
less mass loading at the end of the bass  bridge where there was more access
from underneath.  Restringing the  bass would have helped a bit too but
wasn't in the cards for this  particular piano.  All are easily removeable
should you have the  need.
