Subject: soundboard on my 1890's Knabe upright





hey techs



i've got a rebuilt (rebuilt 2 or 3 years ago) 1890's Knabe upright. nice warm, woody sound, and it's already been used in a few recordings. i'd like to have it sound nice for many more years. i do have one concern. i've noticed a crack or two in the soundboard, and it bums me out to have a rebuilt, beautifully sounding piano with a crack in the soundboard. 

now i did a few shims at nbss on grands we were rebuilding, but never any uprights... and in the following post https://www.moypiano.com/ptg/pianotech.php/2006-January/184497.html, David Ilvedson says you can't shim from behind. 

so my question is can anything be done to fix the cracks?



as always, any help is greatly appreciated.



thanks
