Hi Mike, which myths are those? The myths I'm familiar with all seem to
relate to the immortality, magic tone wood, magic finish, magic construction
methods, unknowable "old world master craftsman" secrets, and "when in
doubt, just shim it and add bearing" dogma relating to old boards. I
guarantee that there are myths regarding what constitiues rebuilding, and
what any given level of work, and resulting functionality, is worth in
different areas of the country. That's what I think we ought to be wondering
about, but that's only my opinion.

Trot out some of these new soundboard myths and let's discuss 'em.
