There was a recent discussion about coating soundboards with epoxy to =
make them stiffer, so that they perform better.  So I don't think =
"petrifying" is always bad (if it's meant in terms of increasing =
stiffness).  Probably, like all generalizations, it's false...

  Hi Quentin,

  I once spoke to an old pianoforte builder and he said this petrifying =
process was rather good than bad for the tone of soundboards?
  Unfotunately he had no time to tell me more about this.

    Hi Andre,

    I think someone (maybe Joe Garrett) a few months ago talked about =
the wood's "petrifying" process.
    This was an interesting idea, and we can clearly imagine that this =
process makes the soundboard become less and less reactive or vibrating.
