plate plugging

[David Foster]

List,

When tuning yet another Steinway grand with a loose A-0 tuning pin, I was 
daydreaming about ways this problem could be corrected during rebuilding.  
It seems to me that the reason behind the problem is that the tuning pin is 
way too close to the flange edge of the block.  I thought that reconfiguring 
the pattern of the lowest four tuning pins to be staggered instead of in a 
straight line would fix things just fine.  Well, drilling new holes in the 
plate before regilding would not be that big a problem, BUT...   How, or 
with what do I plug the original holes?  I would prefer the original holes 
to really  "disappear" for cosmetic reasons.

Has anyone done/thought about doing this?   And, does anyone else think this 
would be a good thing to do?
