A model M Steinway I service has the highest treble portion of the bridge touching the plate, and choking the sustain on those notes. Any suggestions to improve (removing the plate is not an option.)
My thought was to remove the strings and take a hacksaw blade to create a minimal gap, followed by sanding strips and sealing with lacquer or varnish. Any other suggestions?
