David Ilvedson, RPT Pacifica, California Original message From: "A440 Piano Service" To: "PTG List" Received: 2/24/2006 2:23:51 PM Subject: Bridge Notch Anomaly Oh Wiser-than-I Ones, (of which there are multitudes!) I heard a "zinging" in the attack of a low tenor string on a customer's= piano. She heard it, too, and didn't like it. (Turned out a little n= eedling on the hammer at about 1 o'clock and 11 o'clock softened that a= ttack nicely) Upon close inspection I notice an anomaly in the way the = bridge was notched. It's the right string of the lowest plain string un= ison. I was wondering if I might elicit a few opinions about the looks= of this. I've attached a photo -- I hope it comes through! The bridge isn't notched all the way across on that right-most pin. On= the side that the string bears there is certainly a good notch, but to= the right of that it's not. Seems like that would actually strengthen= rather than weaken the pin's hold, but since it looks unusual I though= t I'd ask. Extending upward from the un-notched edge there is a visibl= e line. That's the border of the notching. It is not a crack. This i= s a fairly new piano, about 3 or 4 years old, a Knabe Studio Upright.
