Unless the accessible pinblocks can be turned, I don't usually worry about it...obviously, you could let the tension down on those strings and tighten the screw...but is it worth it? Might be if you can turn it a bit... David Ilvedson, RPT Pacifica, CA 94044 Original message From: "Geoff Sykes" To: "Pianotech at Ptg. Org" Received: 7/17/2006 10:18:52 AM Subject: Plate bolt question Greetings all -- I routinely check the tightness of plate bolts/screws. This includes those that screw into the pinblock. Question 1: How do you tighten the pinblock bolts/screws that are blocked by strings? Question 2: What is the preferred method of repair when stripped bolts/screws are discovered? -- Geoff Sykes -- Assoc.
