Hi Don,
I just couldn't see any reason for anyone to put them there at all unless 
the rib was buzzing on the beam, perhaps in a drier past venue. It's just 
not much clearance, so I thought perhaps something was wrong. In any case, 
it sure is impressive how the sound improves when the board can move again 
isn't it?
