I know someone warned me about this but pray tell me what= sort of moron would put on a bridge with a hidden screw that could not be <B= R> tightened EVER - or is this  what passes for normal at Steinway ? - I j= ust hope that this was the cause of the rattle/buzz - also I noticed that whoever did the soundboard and bridge top coat finishing really just layered= it on - the runs on the underside of the bass bridge apron have to be seen <= BR> to be believed - again is this usual - Hamburg circa 1960's ? I never seen <= BR> it on older but this is the most modern that I've had to do this sort of <BR= > work on. Also any suggestions for what to glue the bridge back on with - <BR= > reversable or non reversable glue - what say you all ? Many thanks. </BLOCKQUOTE>    &nbs= p;        Hi             I'm about= to disembowell a 1905ish German O.
