Downbearing and Tone

May be we may stop to use the term "old compression crowned" as a reference,
apparently ancient builders used the different soundboard making methods ,
as actual ones, anyway in Europe that was the case, see no reason why it
should not for American brands (because mostly American brand where made by
European immigrates, if I recall correctly).

To answer the question : poor down bearing on a good board : lack of body of
tone and of power , tone more thin.

Too much down bearing : tone stronger but less rich spectra.

Will elaborate later.

Best Regards

  You would have to clue us in on a bunch of other factors.
  What type of board? Old compression crowned board with a new, thicker
bridge cap? Or a new board?

    How would you best describe the tonal characteristics of a piano that
has too much versus too little down bearing?
