Marvellous Bechstein model E (2m75) from 1928. Fantastic action, but one problem : the trebble notes are VERY short = (no sustain).

The = restorers have put varnish on the whole bridge. Does anyone know if = that varnish could be the cause of no sustain in trebble ? I am = considering to recap the bridge (though apart from the varnish, it looks = kind of perfect), and would like to know your expert advice before = attempting this. thanks St=E9phane Collin (Bruxelles, Belgium) "Time has no respect for what you do without it" ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
