Agreed...grin... cant see that any of these could amount to much anyways. I am sure we could find force vectors and stress planes all over the place if we really wanted to. :) It has been... as us usual with you guys... great fun and good food for thought. Thanks Joe, Terry, Ron, Keith, and others for piping in. Cheers ! RicB Farrell wrote: > > Hi Richard. I woke up in the middle of the night realizing that I had way-over simplified things with my example. What I said would be true if the bottom of the bridge pin were anchored firmly and could not move at all - that way it would be the pivot point for the bridge pin wanting to tip over from string pressure. In real life this would not be true I suppose. There would likely be forces similar to a tuning pin where at some point below the surface of the bridge there is a fulcrum point where the bridge pin wants to teeter-totter the other way. > > But let's not go there......way too early........and school was such a long time ago.........more coffee! >
