Any ideas on how this could have happened? =20 Gremlins, moving stress, any number of things that don't matter. (it's in the past!) Any suggestions for repair (I don t want to replace the sound-board)? =20 Yeah, that part of the board is cosmetic anyway. Your biggest issue may be sostenueto adjustment. Take off the lid, clamp a two-by-four down to the top of the board, end-wise along side the rim as close as you can get, and see if the assembly will drop that 4 or 5 mm it seems that is lifted. If so, let it up and squeeze some epoxy in there. and re-clamp. Or not, you know. If it is "solid", and not buzzing, the sos reg can be dealt with. =20 It doesn t seem to have affected the sound of the piano negatively. The piano has got a big sound with good sustain, but it s been around the block a few times. It s a Model SF made in 1920. =20 Or '56, as you corrected. One of my faves.
