My assistant measured the pins (not all mind you) but he got .282. a = week after removal, I tried a new .282 and it just goes in about halfway = with my hands.... But I know that Baldwin blocks are tricky to bore and repin, but this = is scary. And no, the fire didn't cook the piano that much, but it sure = made it full of soot. Had to sandblast action parts just to have a look = at them. This is a thight budget situation. The customer got the piano for = almost nothing and I don't want to replace this block. It's still in a = very good condition but it will be tricky to repin. The thing is I don't = have any spare to make tests (unless I do them where there are no pins = ;-) ) So, what's the original size bit used to bore the Baldwin multi = laminated block ? This is still my question.

The tuning = pins at one time were really tight - were they really tight after the = fire - they were still tight? Ok, so we removed them. Now the "original = pins do go through the block after removal. It seems removing the pins = really enlarge the hole...". Are you saying that after removing a tuning = pin it will fall through the hole in the pinblock? I do believe that = under normal circumstances that after removing a tuning pin and trying = to re-install it, one would find that it would have less torque, but it = certainly would not fall through the pinblock. Have you removed the = plate? I might be concerned about the condition of the pinblock - could = the fire have baked it in some unfortunate way? And if the pinblock got = hot enough to get damaged, what about the rest of the piano????? Or, maybe I'm misunderstanding you.
