I totally agree Terry - good call. Ron N wrote a good contribution 
regarding board stiffness relative to a lower mass condition as a 
possible pre-condition for falseness/nastiness to occur. Having 
experienced this phenomenon during the development of our own pianos, 
I totally agree with his observations.

A very stiff sound board with insufficient mass in the treble 
produces a most unflattering tone which is shocky and intense with 
short sustain. Furthermore, there is an increased propensity towards 
falseness. When the mass of such a board is strategically increased, 
the overall tonal improvement and reduction in falseness is most 
remarkable.

Dale's post regarding the lay of wire when stringing struck a chord 
of agreement with me also. I think the uniform orientation of the 
wire and not over-pulling the tension during stringing is absolutely 
critical for clean tone.

This is a very interesting area for honing tonal development.

Regards,
Ron O.
