Hi Terry,

        An elightening resource to keep on file is Nick Gravagne's
information packet. As to where you may have your soundboard duplicated, I
would suggest Nick's services.  We have had successful installations with
minimal fitting.  Nick prefaces his content with "If you can sucessfully
install a new pinblock, you can successfully install a soundboard" (not
exact quote, but you get the idea).  As far as moisture content, when to fit
the board, and related procedures, Nick's is well thought out and thorough.
The ordering and installation instructions are $15.00: well spent for the
information contained.  His number is 505-281-1504.

Lots of Luck (skill is good too!)
