[pianotech] Soundboard stuph

Doing ongoing shop shoveling today, and making most of a rather large 
pile of saved soundboards go away. Among the gems I found the most 
beautifully uniform grain density I've ever seen in a Steinway D, or 
most anything. It's an amazingly consistent 8-10 grains per inch 
throughout the entire board. Very pretty and not cracked up at all, but 
stone dead in the piano. No date, sorry.

The other is from an S&S L. which was one of the most badly and 
uniformly relentlessly butchered rebuilds I've ever see. Among many 
other worse things I looked in awe and horror upon, the ribs were 
extensively screwed back to the panel in this fine manner, and bolted 
too. No, I don't know who did it (or care) and yes, I originally just 
supplied them a list of what it would take to turn what they had into 
what they wanted as gracefully as I could manage. Said and done, they 
were extremely pleased with the results.

To whom it almost certainly concerns, this is incidentally posted to the 
old list both because I can attach files simply, and last I knew, it had 
by far the bigger subscriber base compared to the new and improved system.
