Hi Terry:

 

Is that foam pipe insulation on the top of the rim to protect it?

 

Pretty cool idea!!

 

Oh yeah, the piano looks pretty nice too!

I forgot to add. I like how the dark panel in the cutoff turned out. The
case is veneered in some very nice "flamed" mahogany. I found some veneers
very similar and veneered a piece of plywood for the insert. Stained it to
match the case.

 

I really like working with the panel with the cut-out part cut off. On this
soundboard I even cut the fish extra off. Just more compact - easier to rib,
etc. - and easier to glue - I can put some nice C-clamps on the cutoff/panel
joint.

 

Here's how it looks strung.

 



 

I guess you could try something different each time till you find a combo
you like!
