Grin... and just what do brain waves tell you about the piano soundboards ??

On a more serious note... there has been a lot of talk about soundboards back and
forth regarding the viability of the old style compression soundboard as opposed
to boards that are more or less pressed over precurved ribs. I wonder, being from
a camp we rarely hear directly from on this list, you would give us your take on
that discussion ?
