Marshall People who don't know anything about pianos assume a lot of things. What Jim was referring to was that in some pianos, instead of being made out of wood, the back posts are made of metal. But some people think that because the posts are metal, that they are they plate. The plate is still in the same place. To show how uninformed some people are, I read a classified ad in the St. Louis paper once that said the piano had a solid cast iron soundboard.

The piano had an iron plate on the back. I cannot visualize this. The back posts then go over the plate? Interesting.
