How old was the piano, is the block original? It is likely that if the piano was an old one the holes could have been drilled by hand. In the factory they use a drill head on a long arm which, depending upon bit pressure could change the angle. I would stress again, that the angle to block is not as important as pin to string at 90 degrees from bottom coil 1/8" from plate to first string rest. Good observing and interesting information. I hope you have a fire place to burn and enjoy the leavings of your work. Newton nhunt@jagat.com ..oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.
