laminated ribs

  Forgive my 50 ish year old brain densification but are  you saying here 
that the stiffer you make the board the harder the requirements  are for the 
hammer.  If so I'm confused.  I remember Del saying this  type of board can't 
tolerate hard hammers & that he was having troulbe at  one point with even the 
"softest" of hammers giving voicing difficulties.  
  My contention has been that the stiffer the belly  system the stiffer the 
hammer requirements.
  Perhaps it was your particular brand of english that  got me twisted. Grin.

what it  will teach me through the project. I'm making the 
ribs (therefor the  assembly) generally stiffer, and adjusting 
the remaining crown up. The  postmortem has indicated that the 
result is a greater tolerance, but not a  requirement of harder 
hammers. This connects, to me, with the very high  spring rate 
of a new CC or RCPS board and it's need, not tolerance, for  
harder hammers.
