thinking about how much<BR>> effort and time action centers and bridge
terminations use up.<BR>> <BR>> Just look at all the posts about action
centers. Some need service before<BR>> they are sold. They are
susceptible to temperature and humidity. They many<BR>> times cause
problems for the next 100 years.<BR>> <BR>> Bridge pins split the wood,
strings need to be seated over and over. The<BR>> wood gets dented
etc.<BR>> <BR>> Ever since UC wanted to charge me a lot of money to
straighten up the bridge<BR>> pin, I've been urging a few brain cells to
wake up and come up with a<BR>> revolutionary new system. It would
have to be better cheaper and last<BR>> forever. They keep wanting to
sleep in. Time for them to get up!<BR>> <BR>> Most are so enamored
by wood and felt that change is hard. Nobody likes a<BR>> change
except a wet baby. We still haven't gotten over the wood/
plastic<BR>> debate completely.<BR>> <BR>> Carl Meyer Ptg
