While this subject is sure to raise the hackles of some on the list, I do
have a theory about this.  On a treble bridge (upright or grand), the front
bridge pin for the left string of each unison is nearest the outer edge of
the bridge, on the speaking length side.  These strings will bear the brunt
of the impact of any forward "roll" of the bridge.
