Floating soundboards

[Cy Shuster]

Doesn't the treble of the soundboard have to be stiffer, to correspond with
higher frequencies, and the bass less stiff?  Floating the treble would be
counterproductive then.

Another question I have been wondering about is whether anyone has ever
floated the soundboard at the high treble end, along the short side,
perpendicularly to the end of the bridge. What are the likely results of
such an experiment. Btw the treble end float idea is just theoretical
curiosity.
