Hole in Soundboard for Damp Chaser cord

 Perhaps I missed some o dis but many uprights have  cut-offs behind which 
are coverd with spruce but that are no longer  resonating members of the board 
period. They are dust or rodent  barries but have ZERO to do with any thing 
else.
    It does no harm to drill neatly thru this  area. I've done it often with 
a forstner bit while some one else (sometimes the  client) holds a backing 
block to reduce tear out. 
 My, we do like to split hairs in this biz.

Good  grief, if you have to put a hole for the cord, put it down through the 
bottom  (just put something under there to protect the floor).  Why would 
anyone  want to drill through a sound-board?  I have routed over the knee-board  
when I wasn't carrying a drill (out of town).  They want me to come back  and 
drill a hole in the bottom and I will in time.

Ron,
Obviously you haven't run into one that had a  Buzz! Or, some hack had 
"chewed" a hole in the S.B.! Personally, I just  don't like the idea of putting 
another hole in a S.B. To me, it's just  asking for trouble. Oh, and then there's 
the one that was moved without  unplugging it first..ripped/split up the sound 
nicely. Any other  questions?<G>
