You are correct, I was referring to the so-called 'tuned aliquot' front
string sections.  If the string termination angle is adequate to efficiently
cut of the speaking length of the string the shape of the counterbearing bar
is relatively unimportant.

Other than this, most of what I have to say on the subject has already been
printed in the Journal.
