[pianotech] Bridge agraffes FYI

[Overs Pianos]

Hi all,

Indeed, and the lower bridge root height would tend to allow the 
board more flexibility over its speaking area, which would lower 
impedance and would allow for something of a more distorted tone, ie. 
honking tone. Lack of board stiffness would seem to be one of the 
most commonly overlooked factors, when it comes to tone building.
