Speaking of odd pianos.. was odd baldwin piano

[Marcel Carey]

I'll bet you that that part is laminated to give it more stifness. Fazioli do laminate the treble part of their souncboard to give it more crown and stifness. I was surprised to see the caul they use to give it more crown in that section. They had about 3/4" crown for a foot of rib. That is done before the ribbing by the way.
