Hi Mark and List, Regarding flat soundboards, I wonder if anyone reading this has tried to restore the crown by adding some kind of a turnbuckle tensioning system as used by M&H. Vladan Mark Davidson wrote: Lots of discussion during the last year about rib construction - laminated, curved, I-beam, etc got me thinking.... Could ribs be replaced during a rebuild using stiffer, more curved ribs to help restore crown, while keeping the rest of the soundboard? (Presumably this would be in conjunction with drying and shimming etc.) Is there enough space to work in? Would it be effective? Worth the trouble? Would it be cheaper/easier/harder than replacing the whole board? Mark Davidson Chapel Hill __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
