This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment I included in this mail two pictures: one picture of the original soundboard Pleyel °1900 and one picture of a new soundboard for this piano I ordered at Tonewood Switserland and came in yesterday. Although Mr. Lardi from Tonewood got a plastic transparant plan with all specifications on it and also got a fax which was a photo added with specs about the position of the bridges, he made an error (compare the two pictures) but that's still no problem, nobody is perfect. You notice in the basspart one rib which should be glued square on top of the other ribs is missing. Mr Lardi was confused he told me by another order I send him for of a Blüthner. Indeed this Blüthner doesn't has this sqare rib because that part in the soundboard is supported from underneath. Mr Lardi proposed me to make the missing rib today and he sended it right away. We can shape it to original measures and adjust it and he says the support of crown will be as stable as in the original Pleyelsoundboard. But we doubt... and will proceed after more advice please, thank you. You can notice that there is one part of a rib, which is also missing, this part is going down completely to the end and first passing under and adjust and glued to this squared rim. Our question is: the purpose of this rim? We think Pleyel made it on purpose to support in a flexible way the soundboard. It's like an umbrellastick elasticsupportinging ? We wonder meaby it was not made a kind by accident, 'caus it was easy to let it long that way like Mr.Lardi explained me. And in Pleyel there's no support under the soundboard at that spot. Will this construction like he proposes last for normal time. Is it better to order another soundboard? Would you take this risk? Last question : Is it normal procedure that we also have to finish the rims of this soundboards? You noticed they are not shaped at all. Is what you take of so important for sound, is there a standard for ribshaping?
