I was just trying to point out that low grain <BR>density isn't a problem, and might well be a plus (tuning <BR>stability), with RC&S boards. The attached photo of the piano <BR>currently in progress<STRONG> shows nearly 3mm of residual crown in <BR>the killer octave. The strings are on, up to pitch, and</STRONG> <BR>bearing there is around 1.5°. The fun part is that the shop, <BR>for the last three weeks, has been dry enough that my MC gage <BR>shows just shy of the reading at which I ribbed the panel <BR>(6%). That's all rib support!
