[CAUT] Gravalla Tension regulator

[Farrell]

I'm still feeling my way around much of this soundboard function theory 
stuff - and hence a question: If sound improves by clamping a Vise-Grip to 
the bridge, does that not suggest a mass insufficiency rather than a 
stiffness problem? Perhaps the piano also has a stiffness problem in that 
area of the soundboard, but how does the mass added to the bridge suggest 
stiffness rather than mass?
