New Old Bluthner Soundboard

[Stéphane Collin]

Hi Ric.

One thing comes to my mind, about the old Blüthner.  If you expect, as I 
understood, more clarity and sustain in the high trebble, wouldn't you 
possibly end up with invasive after ringing ?  I suppose that the instrument 
has much smaller dampers than modern ones, correlating with the taste of 
those days and possibly compensating for short high trebble, but in a way 
that is completely different (more mysterious ? complex at least) than what 
you will achieve.  If you end up obliged to braid extensively and possibly 
try to improve damping by any mean, well, methink you make two steps away 
from the original design.

Just a thought.

Best regards.

Stéphane Collin.
