Overshoot (was Re: Young Chang bridge pins)

[Don]

Hi Keith,

These are the indicators I have found so far.

If it is a full perimeter metal plate, or if there are individual hitch
pins for every note, or if there are as on the Young Chang G-200 One
individually tied string followed by one looped string.

A bit of Christmas humor? If the plate is heavy you won't be able to lift
the piano by yourself, and *if* you succeed it will *HURT* when you drop it
on your toes? *grin*
