=20
wound strings across the break? Does it matter if your using a transition=20
bridge for the lower tenor? or is it just a bad place to have a break no=20
matter what? Also what part does plate design or configuration play? Does=20
it have more to do with soundboard and ribs? Sorry, too many questions.
