'Wingless' Bridge

[Arnold Schnitzer]

John Feeney (world-class classical bassist in the NYC metro area) has a bridge like that. He likes it. I don't have any real-world experience with discerning the difference between this and a "normal" bridge. Someone (you, Calvin?) should cut their bridge down without changing anything else, then report here on the result. Perhaps someone who is about to have a new bridge cut can do it to their old one?
