At last year's Central West Regional Seminar, Tim Coates put the Wapin bridge 
on in the "killer' octave, (the next to last section on the top), on my 7 
Baldwin grand, which I had just got done rebuilding. The seminar also 
included Wally Brooks doing his voicing class on the same piano, on which I 
had put the Abel hammers.

Wally's voicing improved the tone of the piano significantly. But after Tim 
got done with the installation, the difference in the tone in that section 
was astounding. Baldwins are known for their dead upper section. But this 
piano sings like a bird up there. The participant in the class were very 
impressed, as was I.

I would highly recommend you have this procedure done.
