Jon said: "Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see much of a problem aside from the top portion of the outer rim has warped away from the stretcher. The pin block should still be secured to the inner rim. It probably can be glued, clamped and secured with Timber Lok Screws. Mahogany plugs can cover the screwheads." Regards, Jon, It appears to me that the Heintzman has a motised pinblock, as into the sides of the piano. The apparent failure of the system is more serious, imo, than you would think. Without being at the piano, I simply have to go on my gut and experience in a similar situation. Of course, more information would be nice.<G> Best, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
