But if you end up doing the work, how does one go about > applying proper clamping pressure to the joint????? > > Terry Farrell Well, starting with the premise that "proper" clamping pressure doesn't require PSI loads in the thousands, or even hundreds, nearly anything will work. At the sides, a strip of wood temporarily tacked to the case side will back up a small wedge, or just tack one end of the strip and swivel the other end back to the board to wedge it. Yes, it makes holes - so? At the top and/or bottom, almost anything you can cram between the soundboard and plate will do it. Short hose sections, wedges, folded up backrail cloth, large angioplasty balloons, 1/2 a tennis or racquet ball, $27000 custom built titanium expansion clamps, or chunks of foam rubber. No holes here. I prefer low tech. Ron N
