No not the laminations. The block is being pulled away from the posts and whatever you call what the pinblock is glued to. How's that for a sentence? :-} Piano is a Baldwin spinet. Can you loosen the string tension, push glue into the crack and clamp. Can you drill thru the plate, block and backing to install bolts. Is the piano salvagable. I discovered the problem when I did a pitch raise. The piano had not been serviced in ten years. After using the SAT pitch raise program, I noticed the piano was about as flat (1/2 step) the second time thru as it was initially. After peeling back the felt on top of the block I found the crack. Actually one of the square supports is cracked about half way thru also. What's the opinion of the list? Gratefully Dick Marshall Mi
