Separting ribs on an upright

[Michelle Smith]

Hi Jon.  Check out the archives from mid-August under the title "My First
Bit of Bad News".  I had this same problem and the group provided lots of
great information.  

Have a good one!

Okay,

Here's a question for the group.  Every now and again I come across upright 
pianos where one to several of the ribs are starting to separate from 
soundboard.  Is there any easy way to solve this problem other than rigging 
a clamping system.  If not, is there an easy clamping system?  I prefer not 
using screws as a clamp.

Thanks,

Jon
