[pianotech] Epoxying Bridges - Worst Bass/Tenor blah blah blah

[Joseph Garrett]

Thumpe(r) said: "Any time anything soaks into anything, it is filling
interstices on either the molecular or larger level. Any filling of
interstices increases density, thus transmissibility of vibration; and I'd
guess this would help vibrations pass more rapidly and efficiently in all
directions along the bridge ( even if only on its surfaces) and eventually
to the board, improving efficiency of sound production."
 
Thumpe(r)<G>,
It depends on what you are "..filling interstices..." with! You could fill
dem interstices with liquid styrofoam and it would give you a whole
different "transmissibility", (if that's even a word<G>). Methinks ya need
to do some experimenting on some of the lesser "fodder" in you storage unit
and report back with results. (Kinda like what a few of us have done.<G>)
Best,
Joe
