David Very Elegant looking. How would you critique the sound.

I don't like dded mass at the top of the bass break, it really needs a longer extension or added stiffness. I haven't tried it but wonder if a small extension ttached on the underside of the bridge pushing that small little extension n the topside out a bit might not help the end of the bridge effect. If ou are taking the plate out you can simply extend it from the topside but f not then the underside is all that's available. Attached is my current favorite modification for an added tenor bridge on a teinway B (or others for that matter with low tenor problems). It shortens he speaking lengths enough to help with the new wound strings scaling, oesn't change the strike point that much, keeps the new bridge in somewhat he same proximity to the rim as the old, creates separation from the low ass. A bass float would be ok here too but I didn't do it on this one. ou can see the extra extension off the top end of the bass bridge as well.

The French piano maker Stephen Paulello "string with ofter steel" isn't going to do much? I don't do any scale redesigning and thought this might be an easy fix :-( Al -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
