We measure string deflection and listen, listen, >>listen, listen.... What are people generally saying when they say a board has no crown? Are they referring to negative bearing across the bridge? With all this discussion I am getting a little worried. The 6'5" Chickering in my living room has the original board and its been shimmed (not by me). It was built in 1895. I plan to post a short wave file as soon as I can get a good pianist to come by. I like the piano but maybe it is a little week.
