Comprehension perks slowly through my thick skull, but it gets there
eventually.

One of the plate's tasks is to keep the pinblock and hitchpins at opposite
ends of the piano.  It fails when the plate dis-integrates or the pinblock
delaminates, because either allows the various pins to achieve oneness (or
get closer than they should be) and compromises the piano, both structurally
and tonally.

For someone who loves cobbling things together (make it do or do without),
it's important to understand why sometimes you just gotta push that piano
out the window.........

Thanks, as always and ever.  Your willingness to share and educate is one of
my best Christmas presents (and it keeps giving all year long <g>)!
