An off the wall suggestion/comment. If you don't' have all the bass bridge replacement time that you would like, and since you are probably going to put this thing over on its back and remove the bass strings anyway, consider just removing the bass bridge and fabricating a new one. You can then easily correct the side bearing issues while using good new wood and bridge pinning that you are confident in. Yes, it's a little more work and $$$,but how much time will you have in the epoxying process, scraping, redrilling, etc, while being bent over this thing. It'll still be a green Grand but it's good practice for a future job that counts. Paul E. Dempsey, RPT Piano Technician Sr. Marshall University Huntington, WV 304-696-5418 304-617-1149
