[pianotech] Worst Bass/Tenor Crossover in Universe

[Terry Farrell]

I don't think painting West System epoxy on a bridge body is going to "tightly link the pins to the cap".

Putting epoxy in the bridge pin holes and coating the base of the bridge pin with epoxy will help.

I believe its primary benefit is to tightly link the pins to the cap, secondarily to seal the cap surface against moisture transport that might accelerate cracking.  I don't believe there's a need for surface lube on a bridge top - there's plenty of vibration to help strings move to equalize tension.
