I'm glad you're replacing the neck. I never did like that knurled knob :-)
Who's doing the restore work?

Yes Matt, I meant soundboard. The top inside a keyboard. I don't know what the thickness of the planks were for a Harpsichord 300 years ago but it was a piano restorer that made that comment. He is an friend of the restorer,
Mike MaGee in Pittsburgh.
The pic from above is some of his work, the half-edging and the bass bar. Some fitting and trimming is yet to be done when the Top gets fitted to the Ribs.
