Ron I need (please :) )your comments on this to clarify where I think you stand on this point. My understanding is that when the strings transverse wave hits the bridge... it creates a wave front that moves out in all directions of the sound board assembly, and it has to do so through the whole thickness of the panel. Is this correct in your view ? (Speed in any given direction is dependant on stiffness in that direction ?... yes ? no ?) -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
