Broken Plate

[Farrell]

If I understand you correctly, this arrangement would allow the soundboard 
to actually go under the pinblock?

If so, I still don't see why backposts would prevent that anyway (in a 
traditional plated piano). I think it is the pinblock that would be in the 
way of extending the soundboard way up there.

Or not.

I'm probably just missing something.
