Alan, I am not sure if there is still some misunderstanding:
With bridging between two notes you mean not playing two notes  
together with a tool as you have done with yourdouble octave tool? By  
the way Bill Bremmer used the term "spanner tool" for my tool on a  
pianoworld thread about my tuning.

I have a photo of the tool i am talking about:

The length of the tool is appropriate to reach duodecime (twelfths) of  
all white and black keys combinations.
