Pinblock Question

[SprBil@AOL.COM]

Hi Ed,

Nick Gravagne had a series of articles in the Journal a few years back that 
outline the whole procedure very well. It is the method that I have used now 
for several years.  Like Brian Trout, Nick Gravagne's method has you drill 
the block outside of the piano with a drill press.  Pianotech has some real 
nice drill bits for this.

I don't know the exact dates of the articles, but they may be in the "Journal 
reprint kit" available from the Home Office.  Maybe someone else has this 
specific information.

>>I know most are at the convention, but I am about to replace my first 
pinblock.  I have a few questions.  How do I drill out the holes in the 
block?  What drill press do I need to buy to plunge that low?  I know it 
needs to be modified to allow a 7 degree angle but how do I get it to work?  
In the back of the Journal there are a few people who sell videos and "how 
to" books on this topic.  Who has the best info on the subject?  I don't want 
a disaster the first time out.<<
