? These are exactly the pianos I/we are refferring ?too.? AKA, C.C. board or?compression crowned boards
?Would enjoy hearing what you are. Where/who are you.
? The older designs you are working with?I suspect?depend solely on mass & stiffness for there tone production. Anybody else?

I regularly work with pianos that are well over 100 to 200 years old with their original soundboards, and the boards are just are still "alive". ? I'm just starting a late 19th century 8'6" Viennese piano that is in original condition and will still knock your socks off. ?The only ones I find which die are very late 19th and 20th century pianos with soundboards installed with "tight" crowns, particularly compressed crowns.?
