Now here is an interesting thought

Hi Ric,

I'm not sure I understand how that soundboard was mounted. What part of it
was glued down? You mean the whole edge at the bentside is not glued? Maybe
you should make a drawing :-)
Was the part where the bass bridge ends floating?
Do you have any pictures from before disassembly?
