[pianotech] Soundboard repair

[Ursula Hammerling]

Hi Chuck,

Thank you for sending out this photo journal. I really enjoyed it and saved it to my files.
I retired in June but hope to rebuild a piano some time in the future. These pictures tell more than 1,000 words, and the whole procedure becomes really clear.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Ursula

Hello again - For those of you who entertain yourselves upon occasion with refurbishing and old upright with a loose and cracked soundboard, I've come up with a quick and easy method of regluing the ribs to the soundboard before shimming that really seems to do the trick. I don't believe I've ever seen it done this way before (that doesn't mean it hasn't been done before - I just haven't seen it done [or don't remember seeing it done, which at my age may be a more accurate way to put it]).

Anyway, click here (I hope the link works) for a photo set that highlights the process. The soundboard of the piano in the photos is a 1000% more vibrant now than it was before the procedure was done.  Chuck
