I'm reworking a Monarch upright player as a base for a nickelodeon
builtup. I previously replaced the pins, and epoxied a few small
cracks, but this time, I'd like to have the bridge duplicated. How do I
get the bridge out without destroying the sounding board? Is there a
trick to it?  The sounding board already has a few cracks that need to
be fixed, and I don't want to add any more.  The previous repairs I
made to the bridge seem to be stable, but I guess I'd like it to be
perfect. Maybe the risks of removing it are more than the potential
improvements. Any voices of experience out there who would care to
comment?
