Stuart

[Carl Meyer]

So, how is that different than my 20's Sohmer?  Mine has agraffes on the
long bridge only and standard bridge pins for the top two octaves.  I wanted
to use wound strings on the first 6 notes above the break so I had to
enlarge the agraffe holes a bit.  I hardly think an agraffe should be
considered a clamp.

I have long thought about bridge termination and will soon have a prototype
of a novel approach.  To spare myself from embarrassment I'll not describe
it until I try it out.
