Don't worry about it. Mason A s had huge bellys, so much so that the bridge pins sometimes will be right up against the central plate strut until its compressed by the strings. I think they had a 50ft. crown in mind in the middle of the board.<BR>
Of course some of your alarm could be that the board is just puffed up from moisture right now.<BR>
