class=530200823-25072003> I took some string measurements =
today from
the Baldwin M grand I am going to replace the bass strings in, and =
YIKES, I
found the bass bridge cracked and broken at the third string. What =
bothers me is
that the 3 inch section was floating about 1/8 inch off the sound board. =
Shouldn't the down bearing keep it down???? I have never repaired a =
bridge
before, so I could use any coaxing I can get. I took the bottom three =
strings
off so I could put the broken part back into it's normal position in =
order to
make the string measurement. I imagine I should use an epoxy glue to =
repair
this, right, or can I use thick CA??? It's a very clean break and the =
pieces can
be put back together and one can hardly tell it's broken. Please advise. =
Thanks.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
