Normally, after shimming a cracked soundboard we simply delight in the contrast of carefully fitted new spruce shims next to aged soundboard wood. However, we are rebuilding a 1926 Heintzman 7' grand and would like to achieve more uniformity in color on the shimmed board. Anyone care to share opinions, experiences, techniques and sources of supply re: bleaching of soundboards prior to refinishing?
