[CAUT] Soundboard mass

[Kent Swafford]

Shouldn't the holes be much smaller than you describe, just large  
enough to provide access for a screwdriver to drive screws to attach  
weights to the soundboard? And shouldn't the weights be slipped into  
their positions on the soundboard _between the ribs_ above the belly  
rail?
