To those in the habit of gluing soundboards to piano rims......

In the high treble along the belly rail, the belly rail is commonly not =
vertical, but rather angled a bit towards the pinblock at the upper edge =
where the soundboard to rim joint is. This presents a bit of a clamping =
challenge. I have used go-bars in these kinds of areas in the past, but =
would greatly prefer to use a clamp. Also, when gluing the board to a =
cut-off bar in the area where the cut-off overlaps the horizontal =
portion of the belly rail (and this can be quite wide on well-built =
pianos) presents an area where a traditional clamp cannot be used. =
Again, one can use the go-bar, but I wonder if some of the wonderfully =
invent-ful participants of this list haven't come up with some kind of =
ingenious/superior method of clamping in these areas.

Ideas?
