Fred:

I'll have to chime in here and say that our two pianos with a Nossaman epoxy laminated bridge cap really help tuning stability.  One of those is next to a D with a stock bridge and there is quite a difference in the pitch stability.

	For me, anything is "a notion" until I've actually tried it myself  
<G>. Tantalizing to me until I get the chance. I'm sure it has a good  
effect. My question is how much of the total picture is the bridge  
cap, and how much is elsewhere.
