David Lovedavidlovepianos@earthlink.net Depends on who you talk to :) I havent heard any of Rons or Dels constructions so I cant speak to them. But the so called disasters that I keep hearing about concerning the Steinway compression boards just plain seem to escape me. But then I dont live in a tropical swamp either But I believe... you will probably find that at least the problem of cracking due to climatic conditions that are generally too dry and rarely more then mildly too humid will roll in favour of the Compression board.... at least in terms of longevity. Tonal.... thats such a subjective matter I personally dont see a lot of room for argumentation one way or the other. JMV -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
