ironmike Posted yesterday at 06:07 PM Posted yesterday at 06:07 PM Anyone out the ever reverse the finger bridge pieces so that rhe low e string is short and the high is in longer,everything in the opposite direction, I know it will increase the tension on the high end and lower the tension towd th low e. But waht dynamic results has anyone found. 1
TalismanRich Posted 23 hours ago Posted 23 hours ago I don't think it will make a significant difference in the tension or in "dynamics", but it will play havoc with the intonation. The reason the bridge points end up where they are is because that is the point where the 12th fret harmonic is equal to the fretted note.
RJLII Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago I think he was referring to the tailpiece fingers where the strings anchor. 1
TalismanRich Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago That makes more sense. In my defense, I've seen some people try some WEIRD things. I still don't know that it will make a big difference in tension. For a given string diameter, and scale length, the tension should be the same to reach pitch. I would think it might give a little easier bending since the elongation is spread over a slightly longer total string length but I don't know that it would be a significant percentage.
