If you would like to participate in my next experiment, then here's what i'm working on.
I have made a couple dozen of these little miniature piano rims. I will be placing the soundboard samples in them at various moisture levels, and then will record what happens over time.
For example, pictured is the first test sample, the rib was glued on the soundboard on a flat bench at 11% moisture content and shortly glued onto the rim. I will be interested to see what happens when the winter dryness comes.
I'm also thinking of having electron micrographs made along the way.
Anyway, if you have any suggestions that you'd like to see in these experiments, let me know.
