The one thing that has been most interesting in this discussion of bridges, sounding boards, etc is the issue of credibility. We all know that the technician from out-of-town has more credibility than the local, and that the farther away he/she is, the more credible. In this around-the-world discussion, the criterion for credibility is the one not involved in the discussion. Therefore, the quote from a book published in 1903, is authoritative. The quote from an expert on "The Internet" is gospel. Let's face it, in the physics of piano acoustics, this local internet group is pretty much the experts. The guy/gal who got a "B" in "Physics of Musical Sound 101" but has a web site does not have that much credibility with me. Give me the experience of the people actually putting pianos together.... the ones on this list. dave _____________________________ David M.
