I'm surprised at you, Ron. Surely you've checked keybed crown in each of
those S&S pianos you've put new soundboards in. Haven't you? You haven't!
Why shame, shame, shame. How do you know the degradation you've been blaming
on the soundboard wasn't really the fault of the collapsed keybed?

Well, what's done is done and I suppose there is no way now to go back and
undo all the damage you've done. But! Don't get caught in this viscious
circle again.
