  Nice picture.  The Brinsmead we spoke of has/had the same  problem & 
hundreds of screws.

The main problem here is the glue and in fact the whole piano is a  
demonstration of what can happen if inadequate attention is paid to glue  quality among 
other things. (Blüthner had so many problems with their gluing  in the early 
days that they finally resorted to turning a few hundred pretty  screws 
through the soundboard to keep the ribs from falling off.)


If the glue had not failed here, it is quite likely the soundboard would  be 
in adequate working order and good-looking too.
