Good point, I return tomorrow for the tipup and tune, I'll check it then. I
used the very thin CA I'm thinking it probably flowed through the wood but
it is possible there's a seperation, Wurlitzers are good for that. I think
that's one of the reasons they switched from the felt to the 1/4" plywood on
the tops. It's just possible the CA filled the opening if it's a small
enough one.
