Steinway K52 Soundboard separation

[Fenton Murray]

Martin,
I don't know which glue joints your referring to but I would consider this a 
potentially serious problem, OH YES. First, it will probably affect the 
tone, it might be an east fix. But second, I would be suspect of all the 
other glue joints, who knows what was going on that day during construction. 
I wouldn't recommend it, sight unseen from where I sit.
