Steinway vertical input desired

[Brian Trout]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the input.

The piano does have something that resembles a tenor bridge, but it's not
separate from the long bridge.  It looks like a tenor bridge along side of
and pretty much parallel to the long bridge, about 2 inches or so away, and
connected together at the bottom.  Sort of a crunched shepherd's staff kind
of thing, only it's not bent, and has square corners instead of sharp
curves.  So easy to picture, but so hard to describe...

I am anticipating making a few changes when I rebuild it.  The one that
sticks out in my mind is the bass bridge.  I'll probably 'relocate' it a bit
to try to get a better bass response.  The upper end of the bass bridge is
situated so that there's not even 2 inches between the rear bridge pins and
the hitch pins.  I'll probably find a few other things as I tear into it.

Overall, I think I'll enjoy the project.  I'm looking forward to it.  Now,
where to find those man-hours...

I appreciate the input.
