You have to screw into something and if that something has poor screw-holding capability or is prone to tear-out you wouldn't be able to create enough tension on the turnbuckle to help much. I'm not convinced it would help much anyway. We've already tried installing additional bellybracing in strategic areas, but with little improvement. Short sustain and percussive attack still reigns. The industry has been working very hard to come up with the disposable piano. I fear they may have succeeded. Del
