[pianotech] yamaha C3 pin block removal

[Barbara Richmond]

Hi Jon, 



I hope you have power and are warm.  Have you asked Santa for a camera tripod for Chirstmas??  :-) 



Would you like to write something up about the many uses in piano work the Fein Multimaster can help out with? 



If you have a tripod, you could use your camera's timer and that would leave your hands free to be in the picture of your using the tool. 



Thanks and stay warm. 



Barbara Richmond

Yes, must be sawn out of there one way or another.  The pinblock has a 

tongue that's set into a groove in the stretcher.  I've done a few with 

a hand saw.  I suppose you could use a sawzall, or the Bolduc router blade. 


Or the Fein MultiMaster:

I haven't cut out a block yet but I did remove a bass bridge body from the apron 
in short order and very neatly at that.  One tool I'm glad I have. --
