---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Many pianos with cutoff bars have an open space, or a different species of [filler] wood outside the cutoff. Is there a way to gain the acoustical advantage of a cutoff bar, but have it appear traditional on the top side? For instance, could the ribs be notched and continued on to the rim, just to support this area? I realize this is a waste of good spruce, but it would not call attention to itself, and there are some situations in which that is a good thing. Is the cutoff bar affixed to the beams? In one picture it appears to pass over the metal termination plate for the beams. Is this a problem? It appears to be the approximate cross section of a bridge. Am I seeing this right?
