---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Tom and list You know I have been following this thread and it is interesting to m= e how many makers tried out this idea. I rebuilt a George Steck 6 ft. gra= nd last year with this arrangement. When I first encountered the piano th= e sound was absolutely magic. The sustain just floated for what seemed li= ke forever . The more interesting thing was that the board was a reverse = crowned board with a positive set downbearing. I mean bearing set pressin= g in the usual direction. A bit more time consuming to string but what a gem. I keep finding all= kinds of sound board conditions and configurations which aren't supposed= to work that do and others that should that don't! =20 I have to figure that the weight of the Big Brass agraffes also contri= buted to the impedance properties of the board probably a sustain enhanci= ng dynamic.
