<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Esteemed Colleagues,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Happy New Year to =
one and
all! And thanks to everyone who is so willing to share in their
knowledge and experience. I, and many others who don't post that =
often,
surely appreciate the knowledge posted to this list.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> We have a Baldwin =
upright here
that has ribs separated from the board, along a specific line, just =
south of
the bridge. It is so close to the bridge edge, that I =
suspect that
there has been some bridge twisting, or roll, that just pulled the =
board away
from the ribs at those spots. If you run your fingers next to =
the ribs,
you can feel the valley created in the board. Is there a way to =
clamp
and glue WITHOUT pulling the plate, as this piano is not =
worth doing
that much. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I have been =
thinking about
this, and am looking for a suggestion, articles of reference, whatever =
you can
share!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance!</FONT></DIV>
