Couldn't cost too much to try it and report back to the list. :-) Dean Dean May cell 812.239.3359 PianoRebuilders.com 812.235.5272 Terre Haute IN 47802 _____ From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of James Johnson Sent: Saturday, December 06, 2008 12:03 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] Soundboard spring 40 years ago my mentor taught me how to install a 58 Chevy V8 valve spring between the back side of the soundboard and a frame crossmember to liven a flat board. Does any still use this technique? I have a customer with an old Knabe grand that has no downbearing in the middle sections of the board and the tone is very thin and nasal. A new soundboard if financially out of the question. After all these years, I don't recall if this technique was effective or not. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
