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.
