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>)! Annie Grieshop
