When relocating the bass bridge on a grand, let's say 6' in length, lengthening the backscale by moving the bridge in toward the long bridge can reap some benefits. However, is there and optimum distance that the bass bridge should be from the long bridge where a certain degree of separation might also be a benefit? When forced to compromise, which one trumps the other and what, if any, might be the negative effects of having the bass bridge too close to the long bridge? (In this case I'm talking about a piano without a bass float.) David Love davidlovepianos at comcast.net www.davidlovepianos.com
