I thought that the bridge height was predetermined from the measurements you took before you tore it apart. But what do I know. I just got to help glue in a board. My first. In a S&S D. Sure looks pretty. Can't wait to hear this one.

If I wish to notch the bridge outside the piano, I need to temporarily mount bridge to board, set board into case and set plate at final resting height (on dowels or adjustable bolts, etc.). When I have the plate in, how do I clamp the board down to the rim securely for determining final bridge height? At what MC do I have the board for this procedure (I would assume equilibrated with room RH - maybe 9%)? Looking a step further, if I then dry the board down prior to installation and then glue the board to the rim, can I be pretty sure the board will crown right back to the test height when I measured for bridge height? Just can't get this process straight in my head where I can see that all will work out. > > Thanks for any thoughts. > > Terry Farrell > > _______________________________________________ > pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives >
