My dreams of laminated soundboard bliss have been shattered.

Fun reading for those inclined:

(from a newpaper article I found on the web)=20

"The three most important things in a piano are its 'action' (hammers), =
strings and soundboard," says Besse.=20
Sound quality is paramount. To produce a rich sound, it needs a solid =
soundboard.=20

Besse compares soundboards to crystal:=20

"Take two crystal glasses. You flick the first glass with your finger =
and it 'binggggs' forever, that's what I would refer to as a solid, =
wooden soundboard. Then you take the other glass, and it looks pretty, =
but when you flick it it goes 'plunk' and there is no ring ... that
is like a laminated soundboard."

Arrrrrggggggggggg.
