Cracked Soundboard

The soundboard is a thin piece of wood that spans the entire back of the piano. It acts as an amplifier. Although many people believe that if the soundboard is cracked, the piano is "no good," a cracked soundboard usually has no effect on the sound of the piano. In cases where the crack has caused the soundboard to become loose from the ribs on the back of the piano, causing a buzzing noise, a repair can almost always be done to screw and glue it back against the ribs.
