Nick Gravagne and I came up with a technical name for a device created to
eliminate a dead note sound at the tenor/treble break in a Wurlitzer
Vertical Grand back in June 1992.

That device exerted pressure on one of the ribs via a backpost, thereby
enhancing that dead sounding note to blend in with the rest.  We christened
the device with the honorable title "Anti-Node Dynamic Soundboard Adjuster"
(ANDSA)        :-)



This reminds me of a device talked about by the late John Bloch in
the May 1980 Journal in his series of articles intitled "Chips off
the Old Bloch", where his idea was very similar, but instead, he used
springs.
