As far as I know, he wanted to invent a substitute for wooden soundboards.
So he had a factory make a "crystal" soundboard with a crown and no ribs.
The sound was very poor....

I've had a little conversation with this man  and asked him about the crown
of the crystal soundboard.
He answered me that the crystal soundboard doesn't need any crown and that
the crown with wooden soundboards is only there to opposite the downforce of
the bridge and the strings.

A reaction please
