hmmm..  I'd be interested then in hearing about cracks in the soundboard that
push upwards in a ridge shape. I have seen this on a number of occasions and
assumed (and have had it explained to me) as being the result of pressure
ridges building up due to excessive humidity.

Please explain if you might.
