I really dont' have much of an idea what the material is, I do not 
know who did the rebuilding of the piano. "Durham's Rock Hard 
Soundboard Putty" is a punning reference to "Durham's Rock Hard Water 
Putty", a filler putty to which the material in question bears a 
strong resemblence.

I'm pretty sure the soundboard isn't expoxied... the bridge cracks 
seem to be expoxied, you can see where the cracks are and they appear 
to be filled/covered/repaired with a clear hard substance. The 
soundboard cracks appear to be filled with a brown hard substance.


What's this about epoxying soundboard cracks? Where can I get 
information?
