Ken's Sloan's post on resources conservation reminded me of a question I've had in recent years concerning soundboard installation. I've never installed a board, so I don't really know how difficult it is, but is it possible to remove the board in tact, remove the old ribs, restore crown with a new set of ribs, and then reinstall the "new" board? If so there's a lot of well-aged soundboard spruce out there. Richard West University of Nebraska
