Is the Bosy inner rim made of spruce? What is the "proper" term for the wooden braces/beams/posts on pianos. I tend to use several terms because I don't know which is "right", or most widely accepted in the industry. Why are ?most? braces/beams/posts made of spruce? I trust a hardwood would work just as well, if not better? Is it just because the better, more clear, spruce is used in the soundboard and the manufacturer always has some "inferior" spruce left over, and a natural place for that rejected soundboard wood to go is into the braces/beams/posts? Terry Farrell It's relatively light weight and it used to be inexpensive. Belly bracing can be made of most anything. Upright back posts are another issue.
