Both claim that the string action specific to their bridge termination is the secret of their superior tone and sustain. With both Yin and Yang claiming superiority by the same criteria, in opposing directions, maybe the best approach is a combination of the two. A nice elliptical string excursion path should be better than either primarily horizontal, or primarily vertical, since it has the benefits of both - right? Ron N
