Hi all, One of problems facing aspiring piano makers is the acquisition or fabrication of some of the specialised equipment necessary for the success of a manufacturing venture. In many instances, we have no option but to manufacture the construction gear before building the piano. Regarding the problem of drying the sound board panel, I recently set about designing and building a special unit for the purpose. The finished result can now be viewed at; http://overspianos.com.au/drb1.html For those who wish to see the internal air ducting of this unit, there is a link on the above page which will take you through to another image, taken before it was finally closed up. There's also a link to an illustration of the sound board-panel moisture meter, which resides in the drying box. Best, Ron O. -- _______________________ OVERS PIANOS - SYDNEY Grand Piano Manufacturers Web: http://overspianos.com.au mailto:info@overspianos.com.au _______________________
