Craig Hair Full Member Registered: 06/03/11 Posts: 74 Loc: Holyoke, MA	Who did the first sounboard replacement outside a factory setting? The earliest I know of is Steve Jellen, and he did his work in the Fifties. Cliff Geers, maybe? though I don't know his timeline. _________________________ Craig Hair Hampshire Piano Holyoke, MA hampshirepiano.co soundboardrecrown.com
