Excuse my ignorance and curiosity, but how do you figure how big = this "fish" should be, and how do you come up with what size the = soundboard should be? (ie: where to place the cutoff bars?) Why should = the manufacturers, for many decades advertise that the bigger the = soundboard area, the bigger the sound, and then we put in cutoff bars to = decrease that "essential " size? There are others out there who would = like to "tool up" to do soundboards, as well, and do them well. How do = you figure out how to design soundboards with the knowledge that seems = to be expanding all the time? =20 Clark A.

Maybe Terry = or Ron have a picture they could post.=20 David Love davidlovepianos@comcast.net -----Original Message----- Got any images of your sound board cut-off David Love? I'd be = interested to see it. Here's a link to the Steinway D we re-boarded with an RC&S version = last year. The fish is the cut-off behind the treble bridge. http://overspianos.com.au/stdctoff2.jpg Since this was the first treble cut-off I'd fitted to a D, I erred on = the conservative side. The next one will have more area cut off in the = high treble. There's also an extra back brace where the 'bell' used to = be. The bridge is just sitting in place to show where it will be located = once the panel is made.
