[pianotech] Bottom Board Material

[Phil Frankenberg]

Did not mean to imply your post was ambiguous. It was not. The words "bottom 
board" not ambiguous either. I've heard many people refer to the knee board 
as the bottom board over the years. I guess the ambiguity in in the 
perceiver.
By the way, what do we call the horizontal slat which houses the pedals? 
Pedalboard? Toeboard?
