<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=black

one way smooth out that tenor bass break on a Steinway M. The first<br>
photo shows mass loading at the end of the tenor bridge. A small hole was<br>
drilled in the extension to receive a screw. A portion of the brass
weights<br>
needed to be ground off to miss the plate to allow seating on the small<br>
bridge extension. Attaching from underneath is more difficult because of<br>
the postion of the bracing directly below. The second photo shows
slightly<br>
less mass loading at the end of the bass bridge where there was more access<br>
from underneath. Restringing the bass would have helped a bit too but<br>
wasn't in the cards for this particular piano. All are easily removeable<br>
should you have the need. <br>
