I have also used the method, you suggest, from the front. The eyescrews, go into the side panel, as you are trying to draw the board toward the front. Then a drywall screw, with an aggressive thread, not the fine thread ones as they tend to strip the hole, goes through the eye, into the sound board, and pulls it back. When the glue dries, or on your next visit remove the screws, and plastic wood, may be used to tidy up the hole, if needed. John M.

Get some glue into the joint any way possible & then screw it down. The screws are the clamp. Dale Erwin I have a customer with a studio piano where the top of the soundboard has come unglued from the back frame.It seems to be only in the middle of the soundboard. You can only get to this area from the back of the piano. Are there any good repairs for this? I have heard of using screweyes in the back and running screws through them into the soundboard to pull the soundboard back in place while the glue dries. I have never done this and just wondered if it works? Any information will be helpful.
