Concur...Flat & level all the way. From an ergonomic point of view I always thought a reverse crown (higher at the ends) had a little more street cred but still silly. Flat seems best for the consistency of the geometry and case parts. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Jude Reveley, RPT Absolute Piano Restoration, LLC www.absolute-piano.com yes! I do Steinways FLAT, as in LEVEL! It's a stupid idea with no Merit whatsoever!!! If you look at the Fallboard edge, it's FLAT! The whole idea of the raised center was to off-set the area that got the most playing. It has nothing to do with regulating or action geometry and any other damned thing! Just Stupid!
