MY ETD IS MADE BY SIEMENS-- IT'S CALLED A HEARING AID

[Farrell]

I don't see much to debate about either - as long as the author would be 
comfortable inserting the word "some" before the word "pianos". Some of that 
depends on the belly design/construction. And some would depend on 
downbearing - as an example: An S&S in the killer octave area with no 
downbearing and no crown = a likely dead area of the scale.

My Boston 178 cm grand has a soundboard that is flat as a pancake - but 
sounds very nice - but it also has a nice even moderate amount of 
downbearing where it should.

So I would agree - doesn't seem to be much to debate about here.
