List,

 Looked at the above piano a customer has in his refinishing shop. The =
plate in mortised into the rim like some squares. Someone told him to =
drill a million holes down through the inside of the rim and saw the =
inner rim out to remove the plate, that doesn't seem right to me, seems =
that would make fitting a new board more difficult. For those who have =
dealt with this in the past, can the stretcher be removed and the rim =
pushed apart slightly with a jack or whatever and the plate slid =
forward? Or knock the rim apart completely? Or am I the nutty one...

Mike
