And why would they use a glue for gluing it in and gluing the bridges to the soundcrystal that remains elastic? Wouldn't that just tend to dampen the sound? Such a soundcrystal would add new meaning to the concern of: "Are there any cracks in the soundboard?" And if you were to clean the strings, you would have to clean both sides! Just think of the $$$ you could make cleaning soundcrystals!
