Tiny, crappy grand. Someone did major repairs(?) to ribs, soundboard, etc. A real hatchet job with great globs of epoxy ...

They replaced the block and restrung it not too badly except they used a block so thick that you can't get the action out without tilting it and I still snapped off one bass hammer. Drop screws barely clear when the action is in.

Measured the depth of holes to bottom of pins and it's almost an inch!

Any reason one couldn't take a belt sander to the underside of that board and grind off about a 1/4" in the bass, 1/8" in tenor and treble? No room for a router.
