There were a few periods in the late 70s and early 80s where strings tended to lie across low tenor bridges with no side bearing, since the back pin row wasn't anywhere near touching the pin. I relocated a lot of bridge pins through these periods. There were a few with loose ribs too, and I even have a copy of a tech sheet dated 1-10-61, with wedge dimensions and lots of circles and arrows outlining a procedure for gluing them back on. Lots of concave crowned soundboards too. Lots. Ron N
