I'm a Schulze Pollmann dealer, so maybe I can clarify this. The soundboard 
panels are not fit together with finger joints. They are tongue and grooved. 
This is a minor point really, in the soundboard. The tight, straight grain of 
the Cerica (sp) wood is the biggest benefit, and is used in pianos such as 
Bosendorfer, Bechstein, and Fazioli, as well as on some of the upper end 
models by a few other manufacturers.
