floating the soundboard

[Farrell]

I think you're missing the point. I wasn't trying to suggest a right way or 
to point out a wrong way about anything. Dean was asking for some technical 
advice about floating the bass of a soundboard of a small piano. And I was 
simply trying to point out that there may be more to a good execuation of 
that feature/technique than meets the eye and that there are some very 
capable piano designers out there who have quite a bit of experience with 
this specific piano belly feature who may be willing to provide input.
