Instead of a spring installed at the KO (Killer Octave) how about an auxiliary rib. This would be supported at the belly rail and at the rim. The only contact point on the soundboard would be a spacer between this rib and the area under the bridge. I guess it would not really be a rib but a torsion bar (if that is the right term). Having the bar supported on the bellyrail, the tension would be adjusted by the height of the bar at the rim support. Thing that make you go....hhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm, Regards, Jon Page, piano technician Harwich Port, Cape Cod, Mass. mailto:jonpage@mediaone.net http://www.stanwoodpiano.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
