<div>Along its side, it is. (It was made, using the bridge from a
discarded upright to glue strips of rotary-cut maple.) It's also
still flat along its bottom. (BTW, this picture doesn't show the
bridge balanced with both ends up in the air, but it does convey the
straight bottom. Sorry for the low quality picture: it's a still shot
with a DV camera.)</div>

<div>But it can't do the trick which yours can which is to lie flat
on a flat table, and then if put on a soundboard crown, to spoon with
it.</div>

lay on a crowned soundboard and very nicely conform to the crown of
the board.</blockquote>
