I have the experience, so I know what the result is. I have tried it all, together with my former business partner and with other technicians, and over quite a lot of years. What I have to say about it, is that, in - my - experience, installing a new board always sounded much better than putting new ribs on an old board. You know me, I know you, we are old hands in this business, we know what we are talking about. So, in the end... give me a brand new grand piano with a good name. Today I optimized a brand new Steingraeber grand (I think 2.05 meter). Lovely! what an instrument! friendly greetings from André Oorebeek Antoni van Leeuwenhoekweg 15 1401 VW, Bussum the Netherlands tel : +31 35 6975840 gsm : +31 652 388008 "where Music is, no harm can be" -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
