I = have done this before.=20 Mike Bratcher ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Alan & Carolyn Barnard=20 To: Pianotech List=20 Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 2:54 PM Subject: Anyone done this? 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. Alan R.
