<DIV> My Colleagues</DIV>
<DIV>I've wanted to do this for long time now & finally the deed is
done. I tHad a 1953 Steinway B (N.Y) with a good original board
& all. I cut the ring bridge loose from the treble a bass & simply
cut a venner piece out of the piece I extracted & glued it back down on the
board to make things look good & hide the spruce tear out from the origianl
1/2 inch holes the splintered when drilled thru at the mother ship. </DIV>
<DIV> The transition bridge carries four bichords. The first two unisons
have been changed from size 19 to 20 to boost tension &darken the
sound. It is a very wonderful sounding break. The look is a very neat
& tidy appearance & the Musical enhancement is IMHO greatly
improved.</DIV>
<DIV> My thanks to all bellyheads who have shared the bizzarro ideas
over the years. These things work & pan out in real life. If any
one would like to come & play it give a call.</DIV>
