Downbearing and Tone

[Keith Roberts]

Yeah, it seems to me the sound would be different, if you put a thicker cap
on a dead, old (compression or otherwise, OK Oleg?) soundboard because you
thought it needed some downbearing to work, than a new board with too much
downbearing for it's design.
But my experience is limited as to the actual sound.
