Mark..
<p>Point 5 was conjured out my words by Ron. I never said anything like
that.
<br>Point 7 is in error. Indeed... if that was not central to their claims..
there would not be any reason for choosing the one method over the ther.

<p>"What I am saying" is quite simply, that point 7... doesnt add
up.... and I didnt make much of a big deal about it... just once again
pointed it out... and in doing so...... :):)
<p>Cheer

out of concern for pronounced ridges in a new Baldwin, I feel compelled
to make an observation here. I don't have the SLIGHTEST idea what
it is you are actually aguing for or against! From my perspective,
Del and Ron have been 100% consistent with regard to their views on CC
vs. RC boards for many years now. Put as concisely as I can, this
is my "Cliff Notes" version: 1. Many CC boards sound great for
many many years, including those in Steinways of all eras2. Many
CC boards exhibit structural problems very early on, including those in
Steinways of all eras3. They think the odds of it sounding great
longer should and can be better.4. The RC board is an alternative
that they feel addresses that.5. There has never been any claims
that I recall regarding superior tone of either, given healthy boards of
each.6. Good reasoning has been given countless times.7. There
has never been any claim that <b><i>every</i></b> CC board is doomed to
<b><i>early</i></b> failure Say goodnight, Gracie.... Mark
