---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Ric Now you're talking my language. My frustration has been that I try to post procedure and experience which always seems to degrade somehow into theory. I think more are probably interested in the doing. Yes by all means take measurements ,observations,ruminations ,imaginantion. Lets talk shop man! This is what teaches. By the way I took a whole series of pics. yesterday of my board thinning jig & a board for a Conover model 77 being thinnned before, during & after with pics of the jig. Glenn it's your fault. You asked. Ric how's the best way to post them again. Also the list idea of thing to check measure & observe. I'll post what I look at & record. Others can add to it or make comments. Why questions are always great. Dale Dales post yesterday got me to thinking. This "make a soundboard" (conceptually) from observations one can take looking over a piano and reporting to the list. Seems like this could be an excellent basis for increasing awareness and familiarity with soundboard design for those of us who are interested and are not situated such that they are able to physically go through the process of building one. And who knows... it might stimulate more to altering their situation so that they can do that one day. In order to do this, we should perhaps start with a list of things to check and measure. Several of us could then start off with really the first grand that comes along... measure things, jot down all the appropriate observations, make a subjective assessment of the pianos tone and report back for discussion as what kind of sound one should expect from the panel. No doubt one would need to attempt to << hear through >> other influences on sound, but I would think the basic idea is very doable. I would gladly volunteer to take any set of measurements on a piano, and even record a bit of sound to make available on my web site. Just agree on a list of things to measure.
