---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I've been inspired! I have a client, a university in East Texas that has a 5 year old "D" that is dead. Sustain is gone. I have a "B" and a "D" here that are 9 years old. The "B" is not dead yet, but the vultures are circling. I read in the archives again last night the post from Del of April 2001 on putting the sounding board springs in. I've ordered the springs from McMaster and I've remembered I have some nice "L" shaped maple that can serve as the mounts for the system. This maple had a former life as damper lifter trays. I hope to be able to bring a little life to our two pianos here, then try it on the East Texas piano. When you think about $200,000 worth of less than 10 year old pianos in this shape, you really want to do something, anything! I like the fact that I can just remove the additional apparatus if this doesn't make an improvement. If I do it over winter break and it doesn't work, no one will ever know. If it does work, I'll make sure everybody knows!! I'll let you know how it goes. dave _____________________________ David M.
