See the August issue (picture of an installed riblet on the cover) of the Journal. The article, "Voicing the Soundboard with Weights and Riblets" is on page 26. br ----- Original Message ----- From: Farrell To: Pianotech List Sent: Monday, September 24, 2007 9:33 AM Subject: Re: Riblets ----- Original Message ----- from Barbara Richmond, RPT If you are going to make riblets, Darrell Fandrich has modified the design (see picture) Where do these go? Parallel to and in between ribs? Does the screw go into the bridge? Are they glued on? In the picture, it appears the center section on the table is not in the same plane as the two flat end sections - it seems that if you crank this thing up to the bridge bottom, you will tend to flatten out the soundboard - or am I not seeing things correctly? --he reported to me that by stepping off the back What do you mean by stepping off the back? The three flat sections rather than one continuus flat face? they perform better than the originals (with the curved back). The original what? Are these things replacing ribs? Or are they additional small ribs? Sorry, I must have missed something somewhere. Terry Farrell -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
