dented piano wireOFF LIST

[Lance Lafargue]

This D that I was talking about had an exposed pin without much support from
the area around it's top.  That particular note was noisy.  I have also
noticed that Baldwins were scooped very shallow for a while (70's-80's?)
and now they are much more steep.  I suspect this unwanted noise is part of
the reason.  Thoughts?

Yes.  But it also takes away critical support right at the top of the pin.
I do like horizontally laminated bridge caps, however.
