piano tuning / Indian music scales...?

You're right.

The bridge is very similar to the standard Danelectro bridge, butif I remember it is installed backwards, so the strings break over the highest point, and then buzz against the rosewood. Danelectro uses a carved rosewood bridge glued to a metal support plate.

The bridge is adjusted to "buzz" properly.

I assumed the synth application where the buzz is noise etc...
