bass bridge replacement

[Martin Wisenbaker]

Brian:

For "entry level" pianos, a quicker repair would be to make a CA glue
repair. This will restore the 2 angles of side bearing and the sound will
be acceptable. Turn piano over, remove strings from bridge still attached
to tuning pins. Pull bridge pins out, pour in gap filling CA glue in
limited quantity (thick viscosity), immediately re insert bridge pins
positioning  them at proper angles. Spray sparingly with accelerator
after wiping away any excess glue. Reinstall strings and tune. 

For other than "entry level" pianos, replacement of bridge or cap would
be in order.
