Sohmer

[Tom Servinsky]

Del,
So what's your take on why the agraffes  on the bridge both started and
ceased so abruptly?
I, too, have been enamored with the sustain of these instruments. However I
remember somewhere hearing that these instruments also had a tendency for
the bridges to pull away from the soundboard.  Any truth to those tales?
