como ya se pudo ver en el PERRO ANDALUZ, una película en la que son arrastrados con cuerdas dos PIANOS DE COLA cargados con carroñas de burro, cuyas patas, colas, grupas y excrementos cuelgan de la caja de armonía, de tal manera que cuando uno de los PIANOS pasa por delante del objetivo, se ve una gran cabeza de burro apoyada sobre el teclado

Extract from this site : http://www.pianobuilders.com/soundboards.html
No part of the piano is as misunderstood as the soundboard.
Much of the misinformation about piano sound that we treasure still comes from the incomplete understanding these early builders had of the basic engineering and physical principles that apply to the soundboard and its supporting structure. Ideas such as the following die hard:
* Only wood selected as \"tone wood\" can be used in soundboards.
* The best soundboard wood is grown on the north side of the mountain --or the south, or east, or west side ( take your pick, I\'ve heard them all).
* Kiln drying kills the \"tone\" of the soundboard wood.
* The best soundboard wood has 18 to 20 grains per inch.
* Varnish [finishes] sound better than lacquer.
* Old soundboards sound better than new soundboards.
* Soundboards should \"resonate.\'
* Soundboards are \"amplifiers.\"
* Larger soundboards [i.e., \"amplifiers\"] are better than smaller soundboards.
