Bill,

Nick Gravagne's series on soundboard replacement in the Journal covered this 
approach in his 8/89 and 10/89 articles, New Soundboard, Old Bridge Parts I 
and II.

<< I saw something new this week: a 1923 Mason BB with a new board *and* 
 the old bridge caps on the old bridge roots. I'd always assumed that 
 the minute tolerances for downbearing ruled out betting on a 
 combination of new board and old bridge caps to provide proper 
 downbearing. I loved the board, it's bursting with sound. But when 
 did we enter this Brave New World where a new board didn't require 
 new bridge caps?
