[pianotech] Bechstein Cracked Plate and Pin Block

[Jon Page]

I recently went to tune this piano, it is a few year out of a rebuilder's shop.
I tuned it last October and didn't notice anything amiss
but last month I did notice this:

I'm thinking to fix the split bass pin block, pull the pins and fill 
with epoxy, map tuning pin field.
Install 1/2" pin block plugs, transcribe pin field.  Pretty straight forward.

My concern is with letting the tension down with the cracked treble 
struts.  It appears that
they were ground and filled on the left sides of the struts.
