This will cover alot of what you are looking for.

Please debate! Hello Joe and Listers I checked out Larry's book on the internet and decided it was not really what I was looking for. My search is for more in-depth appreciation of piano construction brought about by what appears to be a lack of definitive knowledge of downbearing and the relative measurements on each side of the bridge. The interesting thing here is that there are pianos about where there is only one bridge pin per string. Though I have only seen this feature on grands and then only in the bass string section, it is food for thought. The sideways thrust is cancelled out by half the strings having their hitches biassed in one direction and the other half biassed in the other direction. In such a configuration there can be no doubt that the strings shall not rise away from the bridge. This could possibly be the way to increase the tonal remanence thereby increasing the output on the smaller piano. Bridge materials would need re-thinking, possibly using some hard plastic based capping.....

How up-to-date is = this book? How often is it revised? Frequently enough to keep up with = the ever-changing imports market?" Peace, Sarah, Larry does updates fairly regularly. I think once a year.
