I don't think there is anywhere near enough experience out there to answer
this question. I guess in certain situations I would try it. A relatively
new piano, all else working well, etc. The problem is that I'd not want to
do it for free and I couldn't get the desired results I'd feel some odd
about charging and then telling Mr. Jones that his piano still needed a new
soundboard. Whereas I know the new, redesigned, soundboard works.
