<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi List,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some months ago, we evoked the =
petrifying process
of wood in the soundboard, resulting a loss of vibration ability, and =
thus a
loss of power.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Where can I find another information =
about this?
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can this petrification be accelerated =
because of
humidity and temperature conditions, or even because of =
the playing of
the piano?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At what age can a soundboard be =
considered as
"petrified", so that it has to be changed to get a good sound out of =
the
piano?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
