Soundboard rib question

[Calin Tantareanu]

Ric,

For this piano, I would maybe unglue the soundboard and and reassemble with 
with the original ribs (if they are still good) or with new ribs (copies of 
the original ones). And perhaps change the bridge cap if it's badly split. 
It is also likely that the piano didn't have a crown when new. How does the 
grain go?

Regards,

 Calin Tantareanu
