Dear List,
A technical question. A fellow technician recently had a board
replaced in a 9' Knabe. The original board had a gap around the perimeter
of the board in places up to 1/4". Should a board be glued right up against
the case and would this have a "coupling" effect on the sound, or isn't
this important? I've heard one reason the far-east pianos have a
characteristic sound is the unavailability of certain hardwoods in case
parts, etc. This suggests to me that the case resonates to a certain
degree contributing to the over-all sound. Hope this generates some
thoughts.
