> "How interesting. A modification of the torsion box. Are the two outside skins a single ply of wood or are they laminated? As shown it appears that it would be considerably stiffer around the parameter than I would like, but otherwise does have some potential. Why is it cut away? Is this the way it was actually installed? Or is this for demonstration purposes?" The outer skins are single ply. I cut it away when I scrapped the piano; I just cut out the treble section, frame and all, to keep as a model. BTW, the piano was designed so that soundboard removal could be achieved without the need to destring. Regards Alan Forsyth Edinburgh
