I can see I have been missing out on one of good ones here. Course I've heard
most of this and the rest of the reasoning that goes behind it several times
now, and not being a highly typed informatived about the mechanics of wood in
soundboards I of course can not speak to the quasi and semi quasi scientific
principles aired on the PT channel. That being said, I cant help but find it
simply astounding that so much that is so simple is so to thee degree ignored
by many of the worlds most respected piano manufacturerers.  The usual
arguementation for their childishly and obvious folly is that they are either
to silly to remember why they do what their ancestors did, and indeed barely
understand how they did these things, or that they are to stuborn to make any
changes, somehow have never really added up.

Now on the one hand, I suppose I should take the obvious route and snort a bit
at the proponents of rib crowned boards, but then on the other hand my own
digging into touchweight concerns has left me sometimes wondering just how many
people are capable of being bonked on the head twenty times with something as
simple as the concept of say.....<< addition >> without finding it necessarry
to get all hung up in quarter emboweled complex invisible fractions in an
gedigen excercise in demonstrating how limited their reasoning powers are.

And THAT being said..... I would have to then counter-wonder if I am indeed one
of these guilty such parties relative to the soundboard "To compress or NOT to
compress" question. Gawd.... a dreadfull thought I must confess :)  However....
I find the fact of these factories insistance on continuence simply too
compelling to allow myself such an inexpensive purchase of ideas.  So I remain
unconvinced about the completness of the whole arguementation, all due respect
to Del and co.

I know, I know.... BONK BONK :)

Cheers, and its good to be back amoungst ya'll
