Killer Octave

[Tom Servinsky]

Ron,
I came late in the discussion about soundboard springs when it was being
talked about last. I've caught tail-ends of this discussion in the past but
never got the whole gist of the spring.   Could you elaborate the spring
concept and describe physically how and where these would be installed?
