List,

I have to reply to the previous post.  Many years ago...10?...I
tuned a piano...Horegul...I happen to have many action problems
and at some moment when the action was removed I noticed a
strip of loose material from the belly area.  It was a strip of
quarter/sawn spruce covering (fake) that was covering a plywood
soundboard.  Need I say more!!!!!
