Hi Ron,
Agreed. That bass bridge could stand to be closer to the rim on the 
high side, instead of out in the middle of the board, but a simple 
little transition bridge would nicely separate the low tenor from 
the low bass without needing a new plate.

Yes, and absolutely! Some of the long standing murk of piano 
mythology has begun to burn off, but there is still a long way to go 
and much to learn as we refine and debunk the things we learned last 
year that debunked the things we learned or were taught back when. 
Every day is another opportunity to discover how much of what we 
knew yesterday was in error, and find better answers to work with 
and obsolete tomorrow.

Happy hunting,

Ron N
