Broken Plate

[Farrell]

Broken PlateSadly, I suspect you are correct Jon that more soundboard there would be a marketing gimmick. However - and I'm just gonna say this because of the one-in-a-million chance that someone had their thinking cap on - maybe, just maybe, a designer attempted to shape the soundboard such that the treble end of the long bridge would be better centered on the soundboard. I know, I know, that's pretty ridiculous, but maybe, just maybe?

I don't suppose those Curriers also came equipped with the fabulous "Z-Bar".

    And what on earth does it do up there?!



  It gives the sales people bragging rights on more sounding board area, basic PR BS.
  They did the same thing with the bass cutoff bar.


  My question would be, how does one restring these? You can't support the block
  while driving pins, I've often wondered about this while encountering Astin-Weights;
  hoping I would not have to replace a loose pin.
