<DIV><FONT size=2>Has anyone ever tried putting a heavy spring =
between the
bridge and the plate strut in the upper section of the piano to add
pressure to the board with the idea of improving =
the tone? Or,
I suppose, on the underside of the board between the bracing and =
the
soundboard pushing up? Does it have any effect?</FONT></DIV>
