[pianotech] Pitch change, etc.

[William Truitt]

Truthfully, I haven't decided yet.  I am aware that others like David Love
have worked out a protocol for planing the root down and then gluing on the
cap.  I may do something like that.  I have wondered about making the
laminated cap too thick and then planing it down as usual.  Is there any
reason why that would be verboten?  I will not be using vertical hitch pins
on this coming rebuild.

It'll hand notch. It's just more work. The more interesting 
problem is ending up with the right bridge height without 
planing the cap.
