Will, I'm not Al, but I also played the Steingraeber with the CF soundboard, and Phoenix bridge agraffe system. The fellow in the booth told me there was zero downbearing on the system. That it wasn't neccessary by virtue of the agraffe system. Pretty cool. The CF soundboard is VERY thin. It has the appearance of CF on top and has a spruce veneer on the underside, and the CF with the spruce veneer was probably on the order of 1/8" thick or less. Sound? Well, it sounds like a piano. ;-] I didn't find that I could attribute any specific sound quality to the board itself. Too many other variables, among other things, but the piano sounded very nice. Full, round tone, not a lot of high partial noise. Though, it was a little bit of a challenge to listen in the exhibit hall. ;-] I certainly couldn't find any reason not to like it out of hand, though. William R.
