floating the soundboard

[Richard Brekne]

Lets not start mixing up replies to different posts here.  My anti-gods 
reply was in response to a reference to some Goddess thing...  nothing 
more and nothing less... and I stand by it.  The reason I stand by it is 
simply because of simple observation.  If Terry had been taught 
(thoroughly) to build soundboards by say.... the Steingræber folks..  or 
perhaps the old Bechstein gang... whomever... odds are he'd have a 
different set of gurus then he perceives today.  And knowing Terry as I 
do... he'd be damned good at what he was taught. 

As for Deans origional post... I wrote the following

http://ptg.org/pipermail/pianotech.php/2008-May/222195.html

Which prompted Terry to write:

http://ptg.org/pipermail/pianotech.php/2008-May/222197.html

Which in turn I rather ... how was it Will Truit put it.... "found 
offensive"  --> http://ptg.org/pipermail/pianotech.php/2008-May/222235.html 
because.....

There are quite a few very intelligent piano builders and designers in 
the world who do not subscribe to the doctrines of the three Terry 
mentioned.... none of the Terry / Me exchange that followed Deans 
original post bore on Deans querry.... so who should find who offensive 
here... ?  Grin... of course the answer is simple... nobody.  Its not 
worth getting bent out of shape about.  

And finnally... Terry... when put as you did in your last.... well of 
course :).... who could possibly have a quarrel with that statement ? I 
still dont see what that has to do with what I asked Dean tho...

Sigh... another day on pianotech :)
