More on soundboard crown

[Don]

Hi Sarah,

Steam you say? How about 4% to 84%? Even under those extremes a complete
Damppchaser system *can* keep pitch within 2 cents on any note for 12 to 36
months (depending on the instrument)

I can see non wood soundboard assemblys with mason and hamelin screw
stringer technology that may result in a piano that needs very little service.
