I'm redoing an upright. One of those Shimmells that is all plate and the size of a spinet. The bridge root is oak. Now I'm curious about the difference between maple and oak as a bridge root. Your ideas gentlemen, please. On another note, those pianos have no back posts. The ribs are crowned. I was able to insatll a nicer cutoff bar and added a fish. It actually looks more like a whale. Then I adjusted the rib scale and diaphramed the board. If Mazzigilia had a plane that would cut the sides of the rib down, that would be great. I like tall skinney ribs instead wide flat ones. The boom of the board has very interesting character now. It was BOOM-uh. Now the boom sustain is rich and has an overtone that sounds like the 12th. It leaps into the mix a fraction of a second after the main boom. I'm having too much fun.... Thank you guys for your great discussions, quite the learning experience.
