You explain it to me please. Yes, They were probably compression crowned. I don't know if the ribs were crowned except perhaps a little on the Ludwig. I haven't even checked the crown. But I will & report after I take the strings off. Fair enough. I write this By the way I did measure slightly reverse crown on the Ludwig board. Go figure. The Elburn had about 2 mm max. Now the board could be pushed flat with bearing or just flat with no bearing. In either case one really can't tell Much for certain sure till the strings come off. Gordon , You were correct the piano is a full 5 ft wide & 4 whole inches wider than a Stwy M. Big board small piano. It is only 44 inches tall.
