  Subject: Steinway Crown Radius...


  I am installing a new soundboard in a 1910   5'10" model "O" Steinway.

  I will be using the ribs to create the crown, but I need to know what =
radius.  A local factory is going to attach the ribs to the soundboard =
for me, but I need to give them the radius spec.

  Can anyone help me out with this?

  Thanks,

  Ken Parsons

Ken,

Not surprisingly, no one's willing to take a stab at this. There is just =
too much missing information. Without knowing much more about the "local =
factory" and their methods of bellying, their presses, the control over =
wood moisture content, etc., it is impossible to give you a direct =
answer.

There has, however, been a whole lot written about the subject on =
pianotech. Just recently there have been dozens of posts on rib crowning =
and soundboard bellying. Over the past year or two there have probably =
been hundreds. Some time spent reading through some of these might be =
helpful. Once you have some solid background information you will be =
much better equipped to specify exactly what it is you want.

Regards,

Del
