Michael Just got back from the beach & followed up ion this thread. Beautiful bridge. Speaking of harder & denser materials I have switched to the German bridge pins from piano tech. They are plated & seem harder. They are slightly different sizes than the copper ones. I have not bent over any pins since switching to the German pins & they're "shiny & sparkly" . I'm sure it could be a feature! grin. I don't grind off the tops any more as with the copper. Looks neat & tidy & I swear the sound is cleaner. I admit that observation is highly subjective. Where does one by decent ebony? Thanks Dale Here is a picture of the bridge in 220003. The cap on the high end is hornbeam, the rest is maple. You can see the exposed ebony laminations from the undercut section. The ebony treble molding/cut off piece is blind doweled into the belly rail (thought I would mention that so I don't get questions from people, like, "where's the screws in the treble piece thingy?").
