What to patent

[Clark]

Ric,

Violin family soundposts tie the back and plate resonances together; this
has been tried by a number of 19th c. piano makers in a variety of
arrangements mostly with double sb's.

As for prior art, there have been a couple piano patents mentioned here that
seem to have precedent (S&S, B). Maybe M&H could add springs between the
tension resonator and sb really to make that thing sing ;)
