Sounding boards & bridges
Blüthner 1935 Home-made clamp(bottom right)designed in the shop to prevent damages to the soundboard while gluing it to the back ribs.
Same topic.
Blüthner 1935. View of the cracks with the soundboard in a vertical position.
Same as before but from the back.
Blüthner 1935. Nuts and bolts being used to glue back a entire side of the board to the rim later replaced by hard wood dowels.
Just behind the keyboard, an area often found unglued.
Wurlitzer 1930. A thick plank of oak was added to the existing beams to install mini jacks for the purpose of recrowning the soundboard.
Here again, using wedges and jacks for the same purpose.
