Hi Ron N., Just a casual glancer to most of the posts these days,... busy, busy... ... but I think he might have been saying it might be the bridge body having come unglued from the soundboard that started to roll forward. Honestly, if such a thing did happen, we've got major problems above and beyond the angle of that there bridge!! Certainly couldn't be much if any positive downbearing, negative would be much more likely. Might be some warping and twisting hapenin' as well for that kind of an effect.?? I've seen the tenor end of the long bridge standing about 1/8" up off of the soundboard on some "reputable" manufacturer's pianos already, but it didn't roll forward. Have seen the other end do something similar too, but again, no rolling. Now, the cantilevered bass bridges,... well, that's another story... Maybe he'll clarify it for us.?? Just a thought or two...
