Pinblock dilemma for a first timer.

Hi Phillip
   Glue on a filler piece of maple on the back side to reach your  final 
dimension.  Glue clamps   & wood... grin. With  glue joints all in disarray are 
you prepared to reglue every joint in the piano?  I have.  Suspect every joint.

I have begun rebuilding my first piano. It is an upright player. Upon  
removing the plate from the piano, the pinblock and soundboard fell out.  (Almost 
all the glue joints on the piano have come loose, so this is not that  
surprising) Anyway, the old pinblock measures 1 3/4 inch thick. After going  through 
the supply house catalogs (Schaff and Pianotek)  the thickest new pinblock 
obtainable was 1 1/2 inch. What  should I do to obtain the original thickness? Any 
suggestions would be  greatly appreciated as I lack experience in this regard.
