Hi Ric,<br>
The few Zimmerman's I have seen, the ribs seem way too wide and
tall, This may account for part of it. Lot's of other scaling
issues, around the tenor break.<br>
Maybe the thinking was big crowned ribs, no problems with flat
boards??????? Just a guess.<br><br>

Just a general question I would like some thoughts on. What are
the<br>
major reasons for a soundboard not having very good low frequency<br>
response. I've heard several makes from former eastern
Europe...<br>
Zimmerman comes to mind right away.... with a particular kind of
nasal<br>
sound to their instruments... and I've come to the conclusion that
this<br>
sound often corresponds to a panel with poor frequency response
under<br>
say... 300 hz. Like turning down everything below 300 hz on a
stereo<br>
system... turning up the midrange... and leaving everything above
2000<br>
hz alone.<br><br>
I'd appreciate some thoughts on the matter.<br><br>
Cheers<br>
RicB<br>
