A couple times in years past I have addressed this problem by making a =
simple rectangular frame to fit inside the kneeboard opening. Then =
simply cover the frame with (in this case) black speaker cloth. Use this =
assembly instead of the kneeboard.

I've often wondered why a piano builder would build a nice piano and =
then close it up in a box.

  I am just finishing up a U3 that I put a new set of Arledge strings on =
(Jolly Loops). I also reduced the damper spring tension as I have =
already posted previously. The piano plays and sounds wonderfully, that =
is until you put on the bottom and top panels. The panels are very heavy =
and very close fitting. There is no place for sound to come out. It is =
possible to prop open the lid, but it still does not give the full =
volume of sound.=20

  Anybody else notice this? Anybody have any creative solutions? The =
only thing I could come up with is cutting some openings in the front =
panel and put on some kind of exotic wood fretwork with speaker cloth =
backing. It has a polished ebony finish.

  Thanks in advance.=20
