end of the tenor bridge. It has dowels that connect the bridge across the<br>cutout to wooden buttons under the board. You may try installing a couple of<br>wedges between the board and the bridge in these sections. They don't freeze the<br>
board like a wedge between the beams and ribs, and you can leave them in if<br>they work. Make the wedges quite acute so that you can really get good<br>compression. They can be held in place with just a spot of glue,easily popped loose<br>

<div><br>How big should those wedges be? Would a rubber mute work or should they be wood?</div>
