soundboard?

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Patricia,
                  Sounds as if you have a completely collapsed crown, I
have heard the term reverse crown but am sceptical, Del or Ron would have a
lot more knowlege.  More details would be nice. make of piano, and some
bearing measurments taken with a compound gauge. These need to be taken,
speaking length, bridge top, and back scale.  This may give you a clue as
to fact or fiction.
