>>Aren't Ron Overs' pianos made with a laminated soundboard? Perhaps I am >>wrong but I thought that was the case. I'd have to say from my limited >>exposure to his piano in Reno, the sound was not in the least >>compromised. >> >>David Love >>davidlovepianos@comcast.net > >Yes David, all but one of our pianos have laminated soundboards. The piano >at Reno had a laminated panel. Thanks for coming to the laminated panel's >defence. The idea is being rejected simply on the basis of low end trashy >pianos using low end trashy non-spruce laminated panels. While I'm not altogether convinced they necessarily need be made of spruce, it's obvious that laminated panels are typically pre-judged as being inferior, most often by those who have no practical experience in soundboard design and fabrication. >When is some sanity going to come to this matter? This is rhetorical, right? >I believe the concept warrants further serious consideration. But I'll no >doubt be accused by some of pushing my own barrow. It surely does, and you likely will. >If one wants to be kept in ignorance, by all means keep listening to the >uninformed chatter of salespeople, or the chatter of those who chose a >word/email processor as his/her primary research tool. How does that go? It's not what is said, but who says it, and the way it is said that counts? I must disagree. The information is what counts, and that takes some internal processing to validate and assimilate. >The problem of our age is sorting the worthwhile information from the >oceans of BS and chaff. > >Ron O. Internal processing, and application of the 99% rule. Ron N
