[pianotech] Bass Top Bridge

[Ron Nossaman]

> I'm replacing a wood bass top bridge on an old late 1890's upright (the
> plate stops at the pinblock). The bridge split at the upper bass strings.
> Not repairable in my opinion with either epoxy or CA. What wood would you
> recommend using for the replacement? 

Delignit, pinned and epoxy impregnated.


>Any suggestions on removal and
> installation of new bridge.

Proceed according to what you find when you start. Avoid 
explosives, if possible. Glue and screw the replacement on, 
however the original was mounted.
