Let me also say, Ron, that I was speaking to the differences between new soundboard installation with new hammers and what we find from the factory. If it is indeed a difference between soundboard panel construction, the evidence albeit being sketchy at best so far, it is an interesting distinction and well worth studying. And my point, again, was that factory production rarely allows for deviations from straight lines, particularly in hammer production and installation. Nor was I imputing a presumption on your part.

I don't think it's primarily the soundboard. Meaning that in all the RC&S soundboards you've installed, you've never not had to deviate from a straight strike line? I'm not talking about assuming anything at all. "Whatever the soundboard structure" is the point, not factory presumption.
