   Betcha there won't be a stich a crown.  If  this is flat ribbed style  
Ivers then there is no beam depth to the  ribs  to support crown & whatever 
compression was in the panel to  create crown originally is .....long gone.  
  Luv em though.  My first spec piano was a  beautiful Ivers & Pond up 30 
summpin yrs ago.

I'm  getting ready to dissassemble a magnificent,
massive 
Ivers and Pond  "artcase" upright with mandolin rail,
soft pedal compensating WN&G  action, etc..  Besides
checking "that there is some", what guidleines  for
checking the bearing on this thing, strung and up to
pitch, are  there, before I break it down and lose all
this available data ? In other  words: how much should
I look for, and what is the best method of  measuring
it?

Thanks!
G
