[pianotech] finding the strike line

[David Love]

I['m thinking of the Steinway B in particular which definitely benefits from
the transition bridge as well as having a small shelf upon which you could
extend the new agraffe line.

I haven't tried it yet. I don't want to modify action ratios 
for a half dozen notes there, but I'd love to be able to move 
the agraffes back to accommodate the strike ratio. In some 
pianos, it looks quite possible, and in others not so simple. 
That low in the scale, the strike point isn't that touchy so, 
though it could very likely be improved, the overall 
transition is already usually so dramatically better than the 
original than I haven't been forced into it. If I'm still 
standing when I run out of the other interesting things I want 
to try, I'll probably eventually attack it. There are a few 
other things I need to try to Ron proof in the meantime.
