Hi to everybody!  I've got to agree with John Tuttle -- I've done the
same, to the point of removing two piano plates in a high school band
room and rebuilding the soundboards of the pianos over Christmas break.

This winter, I'm rebuilding the sound board of an old (1921) former
Aeolian player grand in a multi-million $ customer's cabin (larger than
my home).  I'm just putting a lot of plastic sheeting on the floor.

Sorry about such a lack of postings, but I've been too busy...
