Greg
<BR><BR> At this point in time our sources for soundboard =
panels
are limited. Bolduc is the largest supplier of panels which is =
canadian
eastern type spruce. I have recently seen The Geers people =
advertising
Sitka panels. Nick Gravagne is doing the board in a box (so to =
speak)
duplication service which if this is your first go round I =
would
suggest that. The only new supplier is again Roseland Piano--Rick =
Wheeler
Portland oregon. He is also the only one providing tongue and groove =
boards
which is far superior IMHO to the standard butt jointed board. John =
Hartman
and Ted Samble make their own boards this way but for their own use =
of
course. </FONT></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

tounge and
groove joints. We do them on our boards--mostly for our own use, but =
we do
sell the occasional panel--and Northwestern Specialty Woods (some of =
the old
Posey folks) does them (and has for some considerable time now) on =

production boards (they do Walter's soundboards and a few others) and =
