Drying pinblock before stringing-slight clarification.

[gordon stelter]

Well, and I think that its sensible enough to assume
that an old block, where the prime exposure to
atmosphere is the little gap around the pins, and
where much dimensional change is restricted by the
glued-uppedness of laminations, will do its expanding
(with humidity) TOWARDS the hole!
    But that's the last I'll say on it. I remain
unconvinced.
