[CAUT] Steinway rebuilds

[Brent Fischer]

Truth sir, you are spot on, like white on rice.  Send it to the Steinwayrestoration center for the real driving tonal power you have come to expect fromthem. Of course, you are aware that you don't want them to drill or stringit for you, but you will get a performance quality sound that you want andfurthermore they still varnish the boards instead of coatings that let asmuch as 38% more moisture penetrate the cell structure. And if youwant to get the plate processed correctly ship it to Austrailia andhave Overs do his termination hardening repairs. Steinway won't mind,just let them pick the plate color.

Thanks to everyone for the
discussion of laminated soundboards, especially Del Fandrich. 

Now a question about Steinway
soundboards.  A rebuilder once told me he prefers not to replace Steinway
soundboards, because a replacement never quite gives you the “Steinway sound.” 

Any truth to it? 

Thanks, 

Jim McKeever
