Marcial, When you talked about putting the old flange on the new whippen, that is what I was talking about when I said, repin it.

Sometimes the wippens can be the same and the flange not. Also,some wippens are designed for aluminum rails (smaller notch). If the center-pin distance to the hole is the same, you could re-notch the new flange. If not, use the old flange.

You're probably right, three bridges. I'm also curoius, I ordered a new wippen for a schwander action. the flange seems different than the one on the original wippen? The screw hole is couter sunk on the new one and the notch is smaller. Would you recommend putting the flange from the old part on the new wippen? Thanks Marshall Hi Marshall, I don't know about that particular brand, but 3 soundboards seems fetched out quite a bit. She probably meant 3 bridges as a third bridge for wrapped strings in the tenor section like some old Masons AA.
