Thanks to those who replied about putting their names on rebuild work. I have been putting "Soundboard designed by -" with my name and the date on the belly rail under the treble end of the soundboards I replace. I figure that, if anything is the part of the rebuild that's really mine. Trouble is, the only way to read it is by removing the soundboard and if my boards last as long as those old "immortal" compression crowned ones that are on their third rebuild, nobody will ever see it. Ah well, if it's seen by anybody within my lifetime, it wouldn't exactly be a business builder anyway, would it? Maybe I need something small but visible on the underside of the board. Ron N
