Greetings, <br>
<br>
Yes sir, =
and it
causes sharp trebles! I sort of figured this out on my own. It makes =
sense
doesnt it? ...You have a soundboard there which I liken to a <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>big piece of bread.</span></i> A piece of =
bread will
go stale and dry out around it's edges first. <br>
<br>
I =
figured
out that around the sound board's edges is where it will first start to =
absorb
humidity so the extremes are likeley to sharpen there first. Same thing =
when
the heat goes on; it dries out near the edges first. That's how I =
picture it.
Makes sense to me.<br>
<br>
Julia, <br>
