Hey, David, the color of the sky in my world is deep fuchsia, so everything
is tinted by that...
I'd like to know what the pitch is up there in relation to everything else
first. Wouldn't you?

Bryn,
After a BRIEF look at the photos of the cracked plate, in the grand
scheme of things I'd say this one looks pretty safe. You might want to run
two large screws through the plate and into the pinblock for insurance, one
above the action support post to the left and one below to the right.

Subject: [pianotech] Cracked plate
I'm pretty new to this, so please forgive my naivete:
I looked at an upright piano for a customer. It had a crack in the plate
from the bottom treble corner of the open-faced pin block. I thought that
this area might not be that structurally significant, since the frame of the
piano is pretty massive and the crack isn't between the string attachment
points. But then, something must have made it crack, the plate screw just
above in the photo, maybe. Otherwise the piano seems pretty nice for its
age. Is it junk? Any thoughts?
