    I tuned a sub 5' Sojin grand yesterday. It sounded ok for what it was, but had surprisingly little sustain. I often expect too much downbearing in cases like this, though I didn't check it directly. I did notice there was a cracked rib, which seems to be an indication that a downbearing issue may be present. Regardless, is there any repair for this kind of issue?

    Is the crack across the grain, like someone tried to snap it in half, or the length of the grain?
