[pianotech] Mahagony soundboards

[David Love]

Just tuned a Story and Clark Storytone yesterday.  Every tone tells a story.
Unfortunately, a different one.

Ah yes, looks like the ubiquitous Incomparable Storytone 
Mahogany soundbore much utilized, if never perfected, by Story 
& Clark. Laminated, sure enough, and sounding lots worse than 
they could have. Guaranteed against cracking for 75 years too!
