catspaw49,

You're probably right. Stick with your present approach since it works for you.

Fundamentals of vibrations, how they're transfered through an instrument and produce sound CAN be an awfully confusing and difficult concept for some to grasp.

Thank you, for illustrating that in your reply.

The "magical" sound coming out of that dark, mysterious hole is a matter of physics (what makes things work).

What you consider as "tripe" is understood by others as a viable, "scientific" concept that may be worth pondering.

Something more than just gut-feelings.

Enjoy your bridge pins.
