have replaced have come out and gone in with the sides in place. Check before
you saw and don't make things more difficult than they need to
be.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

while the board is being fitted and the bridges are being positioned you can
align the plate using the original plate screws. A few measurements help. You
then align the bridges to the plate. As usual.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

sides need to come off to install the SB. Michael Campi showed me a method of
sawing a kerf on the back side up the glue line with a skill saw, makes
knocking the side off much easier, a shim is made to reassemble. Look real
close for screws coming into the side through the end beam. <SPAN

bridge locating is a little trickier because there is no rim to reference to,
I use the block area up high and build up a removable fixture at the
bottom of the piano for reference. </FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
