Hi Gregor, Crown = the curve of the soundboard upwards towards the strings CC = compression crowned (sound board dried then ribs glued on and moisture allowed to return to board forcing it to crown) RC = rib crowned (curved ribs pressed against the sound board) RC & S = rib crowned and supported (really the same as RC) Killer Octave -- some where in the area of octave 5 or 6 where the sound may not have much power and not much sustain thought to be caused by soundboard or other "wood" problems.
