That's correct.  The pin comes through the block from behind and the 
coil is on the keyboard side.  Being able to see the pin you needed to 
put your hammer on is the reason you'd like to be able to see the back 
side.  My legs were sore for days from getting up and looking over the 
back side to see the next tuning pin.  Best I recall sitting in a chair 
was not comfortable either, and so I tuned from my knees a big part of 
the time.  That thing was a job.
