  Subject: floating the soundboard


    I have a small grand in the shop now I'd like to experiment with floating the soundboard at the bass end. I don't see much in the archives. Were there any Journal articles on it? I'm particularly needing info on adding appropriate stiffeners at the cut edge.

     

    Many thanks

     

    Dean
