Aren't you recapping the bridge? The new board thickness will be different from the old board panel (probably thinner). Save yourself the headache and just plan on resetting the downbearing with new dowels. Or even better a Baldwinesq plate support system. Andrew Remillard ANRPiano.com ANR Piano Service 2417 Maple Ave Downers Grove, IL 60515 630-852-5058 >> Hi, I have never done this before,and was going to send the board off to be replaced.I was under the impression,that everything would be done there,and if I left the dowels in,the new board would fit right in place.I have a fellow tech helping with this,and I know little about this process,but wanted to try it in my shop.What is the best way to un-attach the board from piano,without damaging the piano? Best, Hazen Bannister
