It's not going to help much with a dead board other that smooth a few notes out, that may need some crown needling. Same goes for Wapin, It will not make a bad board, or rolled bridge sound good. Installing a new board, or Wapin, is up grading the instrument, as opposed to just servicing it. Having said that, Installing a new board, Wapin, or renotching curved bridge lines. It what I call radical voicing. Because it should make a big difference in tone quality, if done correctly. <G> Roger
