I like this statement much better. Tho remember... I havent gotten into my interpretation of what I hear yet... I am just reflecting on the world at large out there. And that world just doesnt view the sound of pianos like you do. Musicality is far larger an arena then the mechanics of the piano can allow for to begin with. People like what they do, and if thats at odds with some definition of soundboard problems... then it is. What you define as a problem.. based on all your knowlede about how the things function... are meaningless in the face of someone who simply views things very very differently. You say as much yourself... tho you appear to attach some lack of awareness or something similiar to those who dont see it your way. It could just be that they plain enjoy what they hear... and its an over emphasis on some perspective of acoustic mechanics that is the << problem >>. In anycase... the fact remains... the description of the compression soundboard as a built in self exploding time bomb that will loose all its essence of musicality with in some few seasons.... just will not ring home to the vast majority of those out there with experience in using these instruments. Nor does it seem to be absolutely true in its own strict claims to begin with. RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
