<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>I have a Baldwin Acrosonic here with a bridge that is
separating. The separation is in the high treble only. =
The
customer doesn't have a lot of money and re-capping the bridge is =
beyond the
value of the piano. I was thinking about removing the =
strings
from hitch pins and getting under the bridge with =
epoxy. In
the past, while the epoxy cures, I've used the "2 Pieces of =
Pinblock" method
for clamping down the bridge. Does anyone have a better
method? Any ideas or alternate methods would be
appreciated. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>thanks</DIV>
