This is for those that might think a transition bri= dge is only to be found on high-end 100+ year-old pianos and high-performance recently-redesigned pianos.

Silly question. I would describe the transition from plain wire to bass section as a two-step, less-bad, t= han some spinets. Somehow I don't think the less-than-perfect transition is th= e fault of the three-bridge design. Likely other factors involved. (Like may= be a soundboard made of rec-room-wall paneling?) You can bet your bottom dollar that a hockey stick design was tried first - that must have wo= rked really well for them to justify spending $17 (or whatever) extra dollars o= n EVERY piano they built to incorporate this three bridge design!
