Smoothing out the tenor bass break on a Steinway M

[David Love]

Took enough of the boom out of  C3, B2 and A#2 to make that transition much
smoother.

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.
