the myth of the finite life of wood grain

[Anne%20Acker]

I regularly work with pianos that are well over 100 to 200 years old with their original soundboards, and the boards are just are still "alive".   I'm just starting a late 19th century 8'6" Viennese piano that is in original condition and will still knock your socks off.  The only ones I find which die are very late 19th and 20th century pianos with soundboards installed with "tight" crowns, particularly compressed crowns.
