For a while now, I've dreamed of seeing how good sounding a piano I could 
get using piano crate plywood for a soundboard. I expect the results could 
be much more pleasing that most of us would believe possible - especially 
after getting a look at all the shipping stencils on the soundboard. With 
the choice being finding out, or eating, I've so far chosen to eat. Maybe 
some day I'll get to try it. I'm about out of time though, as crate 
material (when it's not cardboard) is getting worse and worse every year.
