conceivable that string bearing could be increased by tightening plate screws

loose side then string bearing could increase. The original post, however,
said that “crown is back…where it was flat.” As I said, I cannot conceive of
any way tightening the plate screws or bolts in any piano could accomplish
this.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt" class=MsoNormal>I don't think I said anything
about crown. Of course you could never increase crown by tightening plate
bolts. But if the plate bolts are loose and the plate isn't sitting down on
all the plate supports, you could conceivably increase the down bearing and
get a better tone and sustain if the plate was sitting firmly on the plate
supports.<o:p></o:p></P>

sure like to see better explanations of just what mechanism might have been at
work to cause an immediate and measurable increase in soundboard crown as a
result of tightening plate screws/bolts. There is nothing one could do to the
rim—or any other part of the skeleton—of an assembled piano that could
conceivably cause a resultant increase in soundboard crown. Tightening plate
screws and/or bolts simply will not do it—no matter how loose they might have
been or how tight they have now become.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
