Hi list, One of my next contract jobs is a grand where the lid has warped considerably, might be described as an S shaped crown as Ron might put it, but this is a lid, not a soundboard. Warp is such that at the right hand corner (by hinge) is about half an inch up when lid "closed". This happened some time ago when I believe owner had it in storage somewhere. It is figured walnut and weighting cost of feasable repair against replacement. I had thoughts of pvc go bars as recently described except workshop has very high ceiling and not sure how much pressure for how long if this is an option. Thoughts, suggestions, comments welcome. NB. rest of piano due in for restring/action work Brian Lawson ________________________ Lawsonic Pianoforte Services PO Box 751097, Garden View Johannesburg, 2047 South Africa http://www.bigfoot.com/~lawsonic VoiceMail: 088 127 6584 Cell: 083 528 7798 eFax: 091 978 926 5675 ICQ: 28573941
