Thanks for correcting and enlighting me David. I'll put a new board in this one. Just for fun, I join a pic of the ribbing : heavy construction methink. Best regards.

A compression ridge is usually a single and slightly raised line along the grain, though there may be several compression ridges in a single panel. They usually run the length of the panel or a good portion of it. This looks more like a mottling of the finish. It's hard to imagine an 1898 soundboard has much left in it no matter what the circumstances, though.
