Soundboard installation, next topic : the glue

[Richard Brekne]

I think the point being raised boiled basically down to the degree of 
compression an RC & S board experiences when string bearing leaves 
whatever residual crown ends up being the case. I'm not sure thats been 
quantified by anyone yet... so it might be a nice thing for someone to 
throw into the mix. Leaving 25 % or original crown strikes me as 
introducing fairly significant amounts of compression into the panel.

    While there are different approaches by those doing rib crowned
    boards, it's
    not unusual to design them so that there is only about 25% of the
    original
    crown remaining after they are loaded.
