Mason & Hamlin AA scale.

[Calin Tantareanu]

Hi Ron!

I'm not sure I  understand how you want to achieve this and why it's easier
to adjust the impedance by using 3 bridges. Would you use a setup similar to
the Steinway A, that is, with the tenor bridge in front of the long bridge,
to the left, or would you move it over the long bridge (overstringing),
closer to the bass bridge?
I'm asking this, because with the first setup, I think it would be more
difficult to adjust the board impedance according to the needs of each
bridge.
And, would you put 2-string unisons on both tenor and bass bridge, or just
on the tenor bridge?
