Must admit I am a bit confused here. On the one hand you seem to be saying that these measurements provide for as good plate fit as can be done. Then on the other hand you seem to discount the need for any adjustments more precise then what these measurements provide for....which were as precise as could be to begin with ?? And I am still not clear on what you mean by pianos that are not worth insuring the best plate fit, yet are worth removing all strings, tuning pins, plate bolts, plate... then fixing the thing and reasembly. What kind of repair jobs are we talking about ?
